How can I get rid of poison ivy in my yard and on the fence line?'
I've sprayed with something specific for p.i. and also Roundup, but the p.i. still keeps coming back.
You can try the boiling water trick- pour it directly onto the roots to kill them.
Or you can try a commercial killer. A brush killer by Bayer should work.
Good luck!
Salt n vinegar stings a lil but is gone quick
spray it with bleach
be careful though, even though the plants are dead, they still have the oil that causes the illergic reaction. Always use gloves and long sleeves when dealing with those plants!
Use a chemical solution and suit up and dig it out until it doesn't come back. Good luck!
Thanks to all for your help If one doesn't work we will try another. Thanks again
Please be extra careful with this. Whatever you do DO NOT burn it. Years ago we burned poison ivy by mistake and I ended up in the hospital because it got into my lungs and blood stream. It took me about 6 months to get over it.

Call in a Gardener to do an all over job for you.
Hello, hope this helps you. Fill a garden sprayer with undiluted white vinegar. Spray the poison ivy leaves and crown. Avoid overspray on the surrounding soil. Repeat every few days until poison ivy dieback occurs, same goes true for the poison Oak.
Hi Ldy: Wear protective clothing and maybe even safety glasses. You can use a product called Ground Clear by Ortho. However, it will kill everything it touches, so put it in a spray bottle, or buy the spray, (the refill is cheaper, $5.97 for 24 oz vs $6.97 for a gallon Search Results for ground clear at The Home Depot) and spray the leaves, top and bottom. Put a tarp on the ground to catch any overflow. Also, and this is what I did, was to cut the plant down to about 6" from the ground, putting the cuttings into a bag. Then, I got a syringe filled with the ground clear and injected the remaining stem in several places, and the top. The plant will take the poison to the roots, killing the plant. You may have to do this a couple of times, but it works.
