    I have Bittersweet, Climbing Nightshade (poisonous) throughout my back yard. My dilemma is that I am trying to get rid of it. I have tried and tried to pull the plants out as much as possible but they regenerate unbelievably quickly. Does anyone have any suggestions.

    So its bittersweet nightshade (Solanum dulcamera) rather than bittersweet (Celastrus). I bet you can tame it with glyphosate. Be sure to follow the directions that come with it.
