I posted earlier with that hillside of poision ivy. Earlier I had tried
round up and at another time special poision ivy killer. Both stunted
the growth a bit but then it came back stronger than ever

I am HIGHLY ALLERGIC and dare not touch it!

Well a nice poster here suggested mixing broadleaf weed killer and
round up together....

It was worth a try I mixed concentrated poision ivy killer and round up
in spray bottle.

Actually diluted the poision ivy killer a little with round up rather
than water. Sprayed as best I could the big plants.

Next morning they looked stunted a little, while anything close by that
had been sprayed by accident was curled up dead.

So I sprayed the poision ivy again for good measure..


I ALMOST feel bad for the poision ivy, its really dying, and appears
to be killing the entire plant. No doubt some will survive, thats what
the spray is for......


Might be repeating information already given, but just in case. The
'allergen' on poison ivory, is very 'stable'. Meaning it sticks
around after the plant is dead for a long time. So becareful, and
protect yourself.

Years. You hear about families where the dog got some on his fur, then
at home he smeared it on the walls at dog height, then years later they
have a kid, and when the kid starts crawling he contacts the poison ivy
on the walls, and they spend weeks trying to figure out where he is
getting a rash from.


Years???!!!!!

That is a long time.
