    Roundup this is the best thing for just about anything. It kills poison ivy and poison oak. Sometime poison ivy is confused with Virginia creeper which has 5 leaves. Virginia creeper is not poisonous. Roundup will kill this but the roots need to be pulled up as it may return again. Hope this helps. I live in eastern Arkansas and this use to be "the thing" for farmers but now there are many different products. Some of the farmers still use it.

    There is a spray to use on it but I don't know how well it works. I had many cases of poison ivy when I was young as I grew up in the country. Never could learn to recognize it!

    Hello, hope this helps you. Try cutting the vine about 6" above where it comes out of the ground. Put some full strength white vinegar on both of the cut ends by dipping them into a cup full of white vinegar. Do this all along the length of the vines. Repeat if necessary.
