We are about to try 'Weedol', but does anybody have experience in the use of this or anything else suitable? (and of course, legally available for use). I'm really worried as it's covering a tall unsupported wall and I can see it crashing down with fatal results if nothing is done rather quickly! As this is a serious question, NO TIME WASTERS PLEASE AND ALL DOPEY ANSWERS FROM THOSE WHO KNOW NO BETTER will be reported. I haven't got time to read a load of old nonsence. Equally, all helpful and serious answers will be acknowledged. Many thanks. Eb#

I used weedol and it was useless!! Ivy is a nightmare to get rid of. Try creosote, I know it sounds mad but it does work..
Take the ivy down while its still living as when its dead it hardens and you can`t get it off the brickwork (from experience)!!
Cut the ivy at the bottom and paint on the creosote.
good luck x

Cut the main stems as close to the ground as possible, then cut out about a 6"-12" length of the growing stem.
Kill the roots with a good weed killer.
Leave whats on the wall to die, DO NOT try to remove it unless you wish to repoint the whole wall.

Nuclear Fission relies upon on your properly determining to purchase, dealing with, and reacting radioactive fabric. reward: consistent with unit of potential produced, nuclear fission is inexpensive while in comparison with different varieties of potential production.

Environmentally, plenty can bypass incorrect if the fabric overreacts and reasons a center meltdown (an explosion is accessible which might then adversely impression existence in the area of the "fallout" from that explosion in the type of radiation burns, maximum cancers rates, delivery defects, etc). additionally, specific varieties of this nuclear gas could be extracted for the production of nuclear weapons, that are quite devastating to their objectives. In sum, it is doubtlessly inexpensive yet very risky.

I once saw this on a gardening program. Simply find the main stems and cut them at the base. The rest will all die off.
Personally I would treat where you had cut with weedol as well.

Cut the main stem or stems as near to the gound as possible. Pull off what you can and leave the rest to die. Put weedkiller on the main root

I have heard that if you soak an attached branch in round-up or shrub killer for a few days, it will die back to the root. (By soaking, I mean letting it soak in a jar or a bottle.)
