I hate privets.... Ugh. My neighbors must think I'm the worst, I have privets... I randomly hit them with the chainsaw every few years... Eventually I'll pull them out.You can have all the wild grapevines you want, come and get'em. They grow on my chain link fence.
Also, help yourself to honeysuckle, wisteria, Virginia Creeper, and privet.
(why I need goats)
They're like triffids here. Right now several tall ones that are growing next to my property (but in the woods) are blooming, and it's a nasty sweet smell. Blech.
Yeah I hate them. The smell, the berries, the leaves... The only reason they are still here at my house is because they give our neighbors privacy. Not me, the cute little family with the Subaru. I want them to have the privacy so I haven't torn them out. I just want them to be comfortable. I want to be ready to put up a privacy fence for them when I tear those out.
I've left some along the fence for privacy as well. I'd love to put up a privacy fence but it's not quite happening.
My dog brings home a lot of ticks too
I dose her with a pill every now and then, but they are so poisonous I always feel bad when giving her one, and the ticks need to suck blood to die, so not a perfect solution either 
this year the ticks were TINY!!! I didn’t even see them, my daughter saw them, now that I know what to look for, I found plenty of them too. Even though the dog has been treated against ticks, it is always better to find and kill them if you can .
I heard that too, at the bee meeting.
