How to get rid of poison ivy w/o killing pachysandra?

Pull it. Any chemical you put on this will kill the pachysandra long before it kills the poison ivy.

Bet you end up having to pull it. You can also torch it.

use a small paintbrush and paint any type of yard poison on only the poison ivy leaves. be careful not to drip the killer of the pachysandra. the ivy will die and the other plant will not be effected.

I agree with Gail. Farmers do this on the weeds in their cotton patches The weeds always grow taller and they use a wick sytem on them. Normally Round Uo or something similar.

Roundup makes a gel in a container that sort of looks like a solid deodorant container. All you have to do is rub it on the leaves and it moves through the plant to the roots. I've tried it and it worked; killed the weed to the root. It's not cheap, but a little goes a looooong way.

Use a mixture of vi gear, dawn liquid and water and spray closely not on a windy day

Please don't use Roundup. It is the most toxic application that is used today. It is helping to kill the earth and animals and insects too!

Call a garden center as they have services that kills poison ivy and nothing else. We live next to a large woods and after he sprayed just the advancing poison ivy died and was guaranteed not to come back.

Here's a post that might help - https://chascrazycreations.com/home-made-weed-killers/

Hello, hope this helps you. Try cutting the vine about 6" above where it comes out of the ground. Put some full strength white vinegar on both of the cut ends by dipping them into a cup full of white vinegar. Do this all along the length of the vines. Repeat if necessary. by doing it this way, you are only killing the ivy.
