I would be inclined - without seeing the property - to hire someone to
mow or cut it back to the ground. Then go in, or have someone else,


As soon as you cut it, weed-wack it: the oil becomes airborne, I would
decline this option.

Another option would be to have someone dig up the plants you want to
save, dig out the poison ivy and everything else, add new topsoil and
replace the keepers. If you spot poison ivy growing in again, kill it
before it takes over.


I think in the OP's case, it needs pulling up by the roots - saving
the bulbs and others.

A truly infested area really does need constant attack.
