Cut the stems above each cluster. To save seed you can either leave a few to dry or cut and dry indoors. Don\'t remove seeds until cluster is dry. Meanwhile, with all that seed, the plants are probably out of steam. Consider end of life arrangements. Do not compost!

Morning glories are related to field bindweed. Howeever they are not rhizomatous so easier to control if you limit seed that will surely volunteer next year.

Thank you. My garden is mostly veg. I use recycled cedar decking and whatever falls or needs cutting in the surrounding woods for fencing, arbors and teepees. The upside is it is mostly biodegradable so I am able to make changes each year. The downside is it is falling apart by January.
