how do you get rid of poison ivy plants??

Answer 1

I would use herbicide, and what seems to work well is a combination of glysophate and triclopyr. You can get this mixture in RoundUp Tough Brush/Poison Ivy Killer. The glysophate is the active ingredient in regular RoundUp, and triclopyr is effective on woody, broadleaf plants (which poison ivy is). I wouldn't use muratic acid, as that would keep anything from growing properly in that spot until (and if) the soil chemistry recovered. The plants will die in a few days to a week, though the rushiol (itchy stuff) will still be present, so take care in removing the dead material.

Answer 2

oops I thought you ment on the skin. poision ivy is a vine that grows and spreds under the soil wearing gloves take the end of it from a tree or where it is climbing put the end in a jar with a mixture of weed killer such as weed be gone and water then just leave it there the plant will absorbe it and take the killer to its roots you will soon see it all die pull down the dead and burn if you can but be sure not to stand in the smoke you can get it that way too.

Answer 3

you have to go to Lowe's or Home depot and get some weed killer that specifically says "kills poison ivy"

i have found it best to spray the ivy, then wear rubber gloves and pull up the vine by the roots, use a rake and loosen the dirt where the roots were located, and saturate that area AND the area the ivy climbed.

good luck!

Carefully dig it up by the roots or spray it with poison which you can get at the hardware store.
