There isn't one unless you can borrow a couple of goats; they eat anything. Hire a professional to do it.
Hi Sue. The best way to get rid of it is to pull it out. Sprays can kill it but the oils will still be on the ground. I cover myself up well, wear gloves and have a garbage. Then I pull it out and dispose of the gloves along with the poison ivy. I put my clothes right into the wash and take a good shower. Make sure not to burn the poison ivy. You don't want to inhale it. Maybe you could hire a local landscaping company to do this for you. Just make sure they pull the plants out and not just kill them off.
Amanda's answer would work for many people, but Sue is too allergic to risk it even with long sleeves and gloves.
