Until a few years ago I had Ivy on my outside walls until I realised I wouldn`t
be able to trim them when they got roof high (scared of heights) so I cut them
off at soil level and just left the leaves etc to wither away. I dug a small
trench around the roots and put solution of sodium chlorate around the
roots,this worked for me.I then dugout the roots the following
year.....However....
Only this month(3 years after I killed off) I had reason to go under the ground
floor...hell there were roots about 20 feet long under there(dead though) I say
roots maybe was foliage but they had crept in via the air vents at the
time,unknown to me.Hate to think what would have happened had I not killed the
Ivy off!
Thats my story and how I dealt with it.
