We found that it can be pulled up fairly easily...and the runners. Takes
care of them permanently. Systemic weed killer also works well.

May yours have been tender and young...and therefore easy to kill.
=====================================
Make sure to wear cheap gloves and dispose of them afterward if you pull it
up by hand. These plants seem to thrive around ponds (the moister
atmosphere perhaps?) and come back every year. TripleStrike works better to
kill it than does RoundUp. This past summer I used a black ground cloth up
to and under the rock necklace to prevent poison ivy along with other
noxious weeds that keep coming up along the rock necklace.
