Invasive to Watch This Season

Wintercreeper (Euonymous fortunei) has green or reddish leaves, making it easy to spot in winter, and can be treated with herbicide when native plants are dormant. Wintercreeper can also be controlled in spring, when new foliage emerges. When the ground is wet, small vines can be pulled. Large stems climbing up trees can be carefully cut, with the cut stem treated with herbicide (40% triclopyr solution when above freezing). Foliage can be treated with a 3% triclopyr solution, mixed with a non-ionic surfactant along with methylated seed oil or similar crop oil to help the herbicide stay on the foliage for better uptake by the plant.
