I want to trample the darn things, as they keep finding their way onto the phone wires(but not the electric), and I have to chop them off, then have stinging marks where they've touched my arm.
Would some roundup take them out? or is there a better way to get rid of them?
Even the beer maker in the house doesn't want to deal with them any more.

Having grown Hops. I cannot believe there is anything called a decorative Hop plant. They are invasive, noxious and caused severe poison ivy like welts/lashes on my mothers arms when I grew them on a trellis for brewing. They would up invading lots of her garden space and pulling them was painful ... literally. Cover the spot with black palstic and bake them out.
