How do you kill kudzu?

Controlled burns, herbicide applications, and severe pruning is a way to kill all kudzu and thick brush in an area. The combined treatment schedule generally may be counted on to remove most problem vegetation within one year and the most resistant within two or three years. Any two of the above-mentioned three components will work whereas all three together (or just aggressive, clear-cutting, determined, mass-level bulldozing on its own) will yield the most dramatic results in the shortest amount of time.
