Is there any home remedies to kill poison ivy?
Thanks for any help,

As I understand it, it is best to spray poison ivy
rather than pull it out. If you do pull it out,
make sure you're well protected and get
the roots. Otherwise, the ivy will be
back. I believe Ortho has a specific
weed killer for poison ivy.

If the ivy is entwined within your garden,
try rubber gloves with cotton gloves
over them. Dip the gloves into the
herbicide and use your hands to
apply. Make sure you're wrapped up
good with long pants bottoms taped
and long sleeved shirt taped up. Be
just as careful taking the work clothes
off, too.
