Put on gloves and a mask and pull it out. You cannot use anything as that will kill the ivy
Dig it out by hand. If you can isolate individual clumps you can use boiling water. Anything stronger will kill the ivy you want to keep.

Only way i know w/o killingit all is to adorn some long up to you elbows rubber gloves, long sleeves and start to pull it out by the root's. an alternative is use brush killer and spot treat at the base of the poison ivy then pull it out when it is totally dead. ( make sure it is killed to the root)
Get some Round-Up for Poison Ivy and wearing gloves and a long sleeved shirt, carefully paint the leaves if you are not able to spray the area. You need to kill the roots.
Looks like hard water residue. Run a cycle with Tang in soap dispenser.
Sorry wrong site
3 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup table salt
1 tablespoon liquid detergent or soap (I use Dawn) for stick-to-itiveness.
Directions
Hi Becky, hope this helps. 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. Be careful not to get the solution on plants you love, it kills everything.
Thank you!!
English Ivy is very invasive and I have been battling this for over a decade now. But sounds like you will need to pull the stuff by hand. Be careful and let someone do this if you are allergic to poison ivy.
