Any ideas on how to kill them?

Remedy, careful though, it will kill trees too. Spray the bb while they’re in bloom.

On my land, Remedy Ultra sprayed during bloom killed the existing briers and made the roots dormant for 3 years, but after that they were back with a vengeance. In ground that they love, I'm not sure they can be eradicated unless you plow the ground intermittently.

Neighbor north of me fought them for years! Aerial spraying, burning, spot spraying, etc... The thickets appear to be dead now. Not sure if they did something different or if they finally wore them down.

A survey in SC found that properties with abundance of blackberries had a reduced amount of fawn mortality from Coyotes vs properties with active BB herbicide management. It was a significant % of survival on 6000 acres of timber managed properties. Deer were trapped and tracking collars were installed. Over a 5 year period in midlands South Carolina. I plan to let my BB's survive on the 91 acres I am closing on next friday in McCormick CO.

The more you eat the less seed is available! I have killed them with Triclopyr 3 and 4. Also had good luck spraying after fire regrowth.

I could go for a big bowl of blackberry crisp and vanilla ice cream right now!
