I'm quite sensitive to PI - GA is rife with it - so I learned to ID it with my subconscious. The first pic looks like PI for sure.

There's a couple of PI-specific sprays at the big box that work well. Just do it on a still day. Or learn to recognize and avoid the beast.


Now as for the vine, my neighbor in GA had a big pine tree. You could see the PI in the tree, but there was no sign of it at the ground. The vine had grown up under the bark and had to be cut out with an axe. This seems to be the target habit for all those ground-hugging plants.
