We moved into a house that has had its fencelines hacked by
invasive,
crazy, overgrown ivy.

Probably the best and easiest way is to chop down, or dig out as
much as you
can. As it grows back, spray with roundup, or similar (they don't
affect
the soil, just the plant), and continually spray as you see new
shoots grow.

The problem with glyphosate is that it doesn't really knock ivy. If
you are going to try glyphosate add both detergent (to break through
the waxiness of the ivy leaf) and kero to it (to help do the same as
the detergent).

I've tried glyphosate and it does little, just makes the ivy look ill
for a while. Arboricide or blackberry spray are made of much sterner
stuff..
