How Do You Kill Poison Ivy?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Killing poison ivy is very easy. Though, you have to take care while disposing of them. The plant should not come in contact with the body as it may damage your skin causing rashes. Pull the poison ivy from its roots to kill it. Make sure you do not burn the plant, as burning it will produce harmful smoke from it and damage your health. Poison ivy can also be killed by herbicides. Herbicides should be mixed with water and put it in a tank sprayer. Heavily spray the herbicide on the plant. Herbicides are easily available at stores who sell garden products. You can also kill the plant by smothering it and placing newspapers, mulch or other products to cover it.

      Also salt the roots for they can go dormant for years, and then come back!
      Other than that I'm in agreement with the above answer!
