There is a bindweed mite (the weed's natural controller) that some university researchers in New Mexico were studying and attempting to reintroduce into areas plagued by bindweed.  I read about this several years ago....maybe a Google search for the bindweed mite may lead to something.

Subject: [Market-farming] Dealing with Bindweed

We have always had a bindweed problem in our garden plots.  We have been very diligent and pull it by hand every year, all year.  It is getting much better.  We have also put down mulch (straw), and black plastic. The straw helps, but the black plastic did nothing. It just grows over to a hole and pokes through. I have used chemical, but I don't want to spray when the garden is planted. Does anyone have an easier way to get rid of it?
