Wild Wine - successfully remove maiden vine
A house overgrown with wild wine is a feast for the eyes, in addition it hums and hums in it - the climbing plant offers numerous animals a welcome home.

The removal of the tendrils is comparatively easy. For this purpose, simply cut through - at the beginning of the growing season - the main shoots just above the ground and wait until the individual tendrils have died. This may take a few days to weeks. Subsequently, the plant can be pulled from the ground or tear, but quite a few and persistent remains remain.
Remove root
At the same time you should start to remove the root as far as possible without leaving any residue - the less root remnants remain, the better! Unfortunately, the Wild Wine is able to exorcise even the tiniest of roots and these can also hide under or in the foundation or in tiny cracks and cracks. Dig out the individual root parts as generously as possible. Unfortunately, chemicals are not a solution because of their negative effects on humans and nature.

Burning with the gas burner
A very effective method is about burning with a gas burner, which for understandable reasons is only possible on masonry without any external insulation. Even wooden surfaces are not suitable for it. After firing, brush off ash and dry plant residue with a steel or wire brush, then paint a new coat of paint.
high pressure cleaner
Furthermore, plant remains can be removed with a hot water pressure washer. In this method, however, it is advisable to soak the residues previously with acetic acid and a brush and work.
Brushing and grinding
In particular of substrates with rough plaster, plant residues can be removed with a drill or angle grinder with a wire brush attachment, disk disk or diamond milling insert.
Tap plaster and repaint
If all else fails, you can only tap off the entire plaster and plaster the facade again.
Tips
