How to make a natural poison ivy killer?

This weed killer will kill anything that grows. If you use a sprayer, it will keep you out of the immediate standing area to put it on. Recipe: 1 gallon white vinegar, 2 cups Epsom salts, and 1/3 cup blue Dawn dish soap. Spray on weeds liberally in a.m. after dew is evaporated and by evening they will be dead. Hope this helps John! Poison ivy is such a nuisance.

Agricultural strength vinegar will work.

Hi John,

Here are some great ideas for killing poison ivy without chemicals. I hope one of these ideas helps you. Wishing you the best.

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.

Hi John, here's a great recipe for you. 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. While this method of killing poison ivy is effective in the short run, it will probably require future treatments to keep the ivy at bay. Larger plants may require roots to be dug out, soak it first then dig. Don't throw the weed in the garbage without tightly bagging it and labelling, burn it or send it offsite.

Here's an article with a few things to try, from boiling water to herbicides.

The only thing that has worked for me 100% is boiling water on the vines close to the ground and the roots.
