Probably less than 2 weeks. If possible, you can also try pulling it out once it shows signs of death. Then spray it again per directions. -
I've noticed that the time it takes to show some effect from Roundup varies widely by the plant and the weather. Be prepared for an ongoing battle with your ivy even with the Roundup. -
My experience is that it takes a couple of weeks to show any damage....but leaves gradually turn yellow and drop off. -
Ivy is actually pretty easy to pull up if you are fairly young and strong. You can pay a neighbor teen or two to go to town and they can probably get 80% of it up very quickly for cheap money. They need to use a hard tine rack though to get up most of the roots. Roundup takes weeks and multiple applications and can very expensive. When I have the option, I just prefer to NOT use chemicals unless I have to. -
Thank you all..The Ivy is toooo thick to get in there until I can get some to die!!! I'm concerned about Copper head/snakes in the Ivy. I see it wilting as of today which is a great sign because I'm going to kill it, spray it and pulling until I get rid of it!!!!! If I could blow it up I would!!! My neighbor's in the back of me have done nothing about the Ivy on there property which comes into my property so I sprayed the crap out of it!!! -
My house had English Ivy growing on the North side. It was tearing everything up as it climbed through windows, ac units, trim, in the attic. The base was so thick a chainsaw was required. We started cutting the base and even sawing some of the larger roots under ground. Then, we applied a heavy dose of vinegar all over the thing until it started to die. We pulled. Then, we sprayed. It ripped the paint off the side of the house. We got those four down. Now, I'm fighting it all over ...»
