Help!!! How do I kill English Ivy, poison ivy and poison oak?

Much to all of our dismay, you cannot kill the stuff. The only way to get rid of it completely is to remove every root it has set down. It will be a long and arduous task because each time you see a leaf pop up, you have to dig it up. Good luck. Oh, don't waste you money on Roundup or any other kind of week killer.

Drown it in cleaning vinegar, preferably in blazing hot sun if possible. Do full strength. Best applied in a pump sprayer if you have one.

It's a hard fight but Round Up will work on the poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac. I have never found anything to get rid of English Ivy. Just keep it mowed down to ground. Have to spray Round Up early in season when plants are in active growth. Best cure for poison ivy,etc is milkweed sap. Just break off leaf and rub sap(milk) on skin. Worked better than calmine

I killed off an Oregon grape, nasty things, with boiling salt water. I used dissolved rock salt.

Take the end of a vine with leaves and submerge it in a container of Roundup. Weight down the vine to keep the leaves submerged. The poison is absorbed through the leaves. Eventually it will poison the roots.

Several years ago my garden was eaten alive by ivy. I hired a crew that came out and pulled it all out and it has never come back. You might check around with different landscaping companies for a quote

We had a lot of ivy that was damaging trees and our building. We spent days digging it up. We then covered the area with Preen, then landscaping cloth. More Preen and finally several inches of mulch. Two years later no ivy. It was a workout though. We use Preen every spring. Best of luck. Ivy should be banned In my opinion.

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.

Repeat as necessary.
