Rampant Ivy plant !?

I have an ivy plant which has spread quite a lot %26amp; bonded itself to a wall %26amp; fence %26amp; possibly caused damage to the brickwork on my conservatory base. I have now cut it off at ground level but I need to make sure that it doesnt come back again next spring. I've tried to dig it out but thats a lost cause...... any ideas on what will kill it off ( NOT too toxic..... I've got a cat %26amp; dog and theres quite a few in the area)

I had a similar problem. I cut the plant off at ground level. This was enough. The plant was dead, and didn't grow back.



You should be OK.
Reply:According to a friend of mine who is a horticulturalist, Round Up will kill anything green. The problem you face with this is that it needs to be applied to the leaves of a plant.



I'd just rip out as much as you can and spray what ever comes back up.
Reply:Pour boiling water at the plant base. It will be absorbed into the plant system and kill it.
