Reply:Take a bath with bleach added.
Reply:Round Up works really well, just spray it on. Or wear gloves and dig it up by the roots and put it in the trash. Do not burn it. You can get poison ivy from the smoke.



Some cities have a department called Noxious Weed Control that will come get rid of it for you. Call your city health department.
Reply:Use Roundup Poison Ivy %26amp; Tough Brush Killer Plus combines two of the best brushing-killing ingredients to kill even the toughest of weeds — including poison ivy, poison oak, and kudzu to the root.

Reply:The two herbicides most commonly used for poison ivy--Roundup and Ortho Poison Ivy Killer--will kill other plants as well. Spraying Roundup (active ingredient glyphosate) on the foliage of young plants will kill the poison ivy, but if the poison ivy vine is growing up your prize rhododendron or azalea, for example, the Roundup will kill them too.



Ortho Poison Ivy Killer (active ingredient triclopyr), if used sparingly, will kill poison ivy but not trees it grows around. But don't use it around shrubs, broadleaf ground cover, or herbaceous garden plants. It is possible to spray the poison ivy without killing other plants if you pull the poison ivy vines away from the desirable plants and wipe the ivy foliage with the herbicide, or use a shield on the sprayer to direct the chemical. If you don't want to use chemicals, manual removal will get rid of the ivy if you're diligent. You must get every bit of the plant--leaves, vines, and roots--or it will sprout again. Wear plastic gloves over cotton gloves when pulling the plants. Plastic alone isn't enough because the plastic rips, and cotton alone won't work because after a while the urushiol (active irritant in the plant) will soak through.
