Wild morning glory is a big problem in Oregon. Yes, they are very
invasive. We haven't tried and chemical preparations, but the City of
Milwaukie (where I live) comes through and sprays all the roadsides--
I'm not sure what they use. But unchecked, the plants spread like mad
and choke out everything in their path.
