Q&A - My Neighbor's Wisteria Is In My Yard

Question:
I do believe the neighbor's wisteria means to creep its way in to my home, take all my possessions and strangle me as I sleep. No matter how many times I pull the vines that root in my own yard, those that originate on the other side of the fence continue to slither in to my bushes. I swear that plant grows a foot a day. Short of sneaking around after dark with a bottle of RoundUp, is there any way to discourage this wisteria vine from crossing the property line? 
     Signed,
        Sleeping with One Eye Open

Answer:
Make Dennison and Chris Cooper talk about ways to keep a wisteria plant in a neighbor's yard from crossing over into your yard and causing damage. Wisteria vines can kill trees and cause property damage. Unfortunately the options to contain it are not easy or inexpensive.
