That's been my understanding also. You have to spray several times to
actually kill the roots completely.

Last summer and again this spring, I sprayed
Round Up on a bed of poison ivy. The stuff
came back. What should I try next?

Round-up works well on poison ivy. The thing it, you probably need to
apply it 2 or 3 times during one growing season and possibly again at the
beginning of the next growing season. Poison Ivy is a pretty tough plant,
and if even a small root is left barely clinging to life, the plant will
re-sprout.
