Thinking about my super immune system - never got Poison Ivy as a kid, even though I rubbed it on me, showing off like a kid. Any others ( sorry for Hijack!!)

I will join you in asking your question. It has started to run rampant on my property and I would like to know how to eliminate it once and for all without ruining my plants.

Spray it. I can't remember what we use. My husband would know or you can check with a garden store as to what to use.

I have discovered that information on this is sketchy.

Even the Round up labels are confusing!

I've looked at a couple of websites and they are even MORE confusing.

What has happened here is that the city tore up the city side of the road doing all that water main repair, and repaving. They dug up 36in + along that curb. Some of my plants which I thought were goners, have come back with vigor. Example....
Globe Thistles! really were stimulated --I guess the roots.

This is what happened with the poison Ivy... I don't recall seeing any where it is now. I really cannot plant my seedlings that I planned for there...because this just came up. We have had a slow cool spring, and I didn't see the ivy right away. Now it is rampant over there! I sprayed it with Round Up, but it is not responding quickly yet.

Just noticed this thread and am on my way to bed so I'll have to guess at the name of the spray that's in my barn..that works and is specifically for poison oak and ivy. I thinks it's Bodine...or something like that. Am in my jamies or I'd go unlock the barn and look. Promise to do that in the morning for sure! goodnite...

http://www.bonide.com/lbonide/backlabels/l330.pdf not Bodine but bonide.

now I'm really going to bed.

Round Up takes probably a week or so for it to start showing the effects of it. The trouble is it will kill everything including the grass.

2-4D kills Poison Ivy and any broad leaf plant. It does a good job on Poison Ivy.

It doesn't matter what dies over there. I need to start fresh.

It is a wild area, and I want to naturalize wildflowers in that spot.
