How to kill poison ivy

Round Up works....just spray it again if it comes back.

Unfortunately, one of the only ways to ensure total annihilation is to use a brush and vine killer. They are available for about 20-25 dollars from the big box stores for a large bottle to mix in your sprayer. We dosed regular Ivy with 2-3 sprays and it killed it completely roots and all.

Do NOT try pulling it; and do NOT burn it. Burning it can be dangerous. If it is on a tree that you are not going to be around; leave it be; as it is an important foodsource for birds.

Round Up worked for us.

If you live in the country...goats love poison ivy.

There is poison especially for that...BUT be sure you use gloves when applying and then wash the gloves....................leaves of 3 let it be....is how it is identified...NEVER pull what you think is some other vine up only to find out it was poison ivy...................I did that years ago and it took a long time to heal it.

True never burn the leaves...and those really allergic to this will suffer greatly.....even tho it is burning in with other dry weeds etc.

Rural poison ivy can be older and have a massive height and girth if it's gone un-noticed. If that is the case,/ I had great results by cutting/sawing/lopping the plant (carefully) about 2' from the ground - make sure the two ends aren't touching (cut another inch off). The plant above will die and the lower part will regrow leaves. Then spray with herbicide and kill the rest. This keeps you from having to use much spray - and deals with the problem of a tree sized plant. My largest one had a trunk about like a small tree, winding around a tree I liked. By doing it this way, I didn't hurt the tree - but the ivy never came back.

3 cups white vinegar

1/2 cup table salt

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

Directions

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