How can I kill poison ivy?
I have a huge magnolia tree that I have trimmed and planted all kinds of pretty plants under it, but I also have a huge spread of poison ivy growing under it. I am very allergic to poison ivy. What can I do? I have sprayed everything under the sun but it still comes back year after year. How can I kill it once and for all?

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. Good luck! -

Ortho poison ivy killer works well. Unfortunately poison ivy has trailing roots, so you may have to retreat. -

It's very hard to kill. However, I suggest planting orange spotted jewelweed seed as a natural skin preventive and treatment for poison ivy and poison oak reactions. Jewelweed is in the impatiens family so it needs some shade.
