Gayle, this is going to be hard for you if real allergic to poison ivy. Which I can totally relate. I look at it and can get it just about. Lol. Maybe you can find someone that is not highly allergic. If not wear long sleeve and long pants, gloves and mask. Follow info in website. Then throw clothes in washer and take shower. IMMEDIATELY

I got rid of the poison ivy in my ivy bed that was growing up my crape myrtle tree. I wore latex gloves and long sleeves, and sprayed the round up poison ivy killer into my hand so I could rub it on both sides of each leaf while not getting the adjacent good ivy or affecting the tree. I sprayed the new shoots that tried to sprout in the grass, and after a month of diligence the poison ivy was gone. That was last year, and I'm happy to say that it has not returned!
Dissolve one cup salt in a gallon of water and add a tablespoon of dish soap to create a solution that can be sprayed on poison ivy.

Hi Gayle, 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. by doing it this way, you are only killing the ivy.
