Walter Reeves on Sep 19, 2011I get great results with Roundup Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush Killer. I've seen leaf wilting in just a couple of days in hot weather...longer in cool or overcast conditions.Helpful Reply

Robert on Sep 19, 2011Has anyone had any success with the recipe I found that someone else posted of vinegar, salt, water and Dawn detergent sprayed on it? Would much rather deal with that than these chemicals if at all possible.Helpful Reply

Paul M on Sep 19, 2011Well you can use copious amounts of salt but then nothing will grow there for a very long time, including the ivy.Helpful Reply

Walter Reeves on Sep 20, 2011Please note that both salt and detergent are more toxic for oral ingestion than the chemical in Roundup.Helpful Reply

Paul M on Sep 20, 2011I know that Walter but Robert was asking for something besides Roundup. Roundup is the only plat killer I use anymore. Sometimes, with woody weeds, it takes more than one application to get rid of them but it will get rid of what ever you put it on sooner or later.Helpful Reply

Diane S on May 26, 2013Ivy has been growing on my neighbors wood fence and onto my property climbing a few trees and ground cover. I will give Roundup a try, so disgusted with the whole thing.Helpful Reply
