How do you kill poison ivy without hurting wildlife?

Question

I have poison ivy growing from the water co. property spreading into my yard and up my trees.  Ive tried some spraus2but it comes back.

Janet Pizaro · Answer

That is because you are not getting the spray into the root system. Try Orthos Brush-B-Gone after cutting the ivy as far back as you can and wear a mask.

Brenda · Answer

You can pour vinegar on the plant where it comes out of the ground. It may take 2 or3 Applications but it will kill it.

Dfm · Answer

never ever burn the poison ivy vines - the stuff that gives most people the ivy itch will become air born and can do damage to your lungs. even if the vines look dead- don't burn.

Chloe Crabtree · Answer

3 cups white vinegar

1/2 cup table salt

1 tablespoon liquid detergent or soap (I use Dawn) for stick-to-itiveness.

Directions

Mix vinegar and salt until the salt is completely dissolved. Stir in liquid dish soap, and pour into a spray bottle.
Spray onto the green growing leaves of the plants.
Wait a week, then repeat on any survivors. Best time to apply: during a dry spell.

Repeat as necessary.
