New house, new garden and lots and lots of ivy everywhere.

Been round cutting it of at the roots, but getting it off the
walls and particularly the wooden fences is problematic.

Any good tips please?

Thanks, obviously just keep cutting and picking.

I've come across a patch on a wall that had obviously been cut
at the roots a long while back as is was very dry and crisp,
Sadly it is also very brittle so only tiny bits come away each
time.

The fence is a problem because the ivy leaves its little
clinging roots behind so the fence almost looks as if it is
covered with brown millipedes!
