Try this recipe Momma.... https://countrylivinginacariboovalley.com/homemade-poison-ivy-and-weed-killer-that-really-works/

You can also pull the plant out by the roots. Wear gloves and protective clothing. Make sure you wash the gloves and clothes in hot water after you use them (or use disposables, in the case of the gloves). The hot, soapy water will help remove the plant oils.

Hi Michigan Momma,

Here's an article that might help you. Be careful using anything with salt because that can kill the soil so that nothing will grow. Wishing you the best.

Suit up, dig out at the roots, treat area with agricultural strength vinegar. I am going to visit my friend next week, and this is always one of the chores we tackle.

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.
