Hello ! I am taking a lover out of the wall. How can I "EXTERMINE" the remains left on the wall? NOT ! chemicals. What creeper instead, without the invasive features of that one? Thanks for the space. I liked everything published. Ana
Hello Ana.
You can try making a homemade herbicide. On this article we explain how it is done.
Instead you can put a Trachelospermum if you live in a climate with cool winters, or a Jasminum if the winters are mild.
A greeting.
