Weeds like poison ivy laugh at roundup. It may knock the leaves off
but it will be back. You are far better off with a Triclopyr based
product, preferably mixed with a "sticker".
Diesel works great. You don't need a lot. A little spritz will kill
weeds like PI dead. It is what we use on Brazilian peppers, air potato
and Ear leaf Acacia.


Diesel? Fuel?


Yup. It was the original recommended surfactant for Garlon 4. This is
not something you are squirting out of an airplane. You just need to
get some leaves with a few drops each and the plant will go belly up
in a week or two and never come back. I typically treat an acre and a
half with a 16 oz Zep bottle and have plenty left.
