I'm being overtaken by poison oak & ivy. Help!!! I've tried everything
+8
I've tried every spray, granuale, and powder I've even dug down to the roots and set them on fire and it still comes back even greener and thicker than before. I have small grandchildren and they just want to climb trees and play. HELP
