What is the best spray-on weedkiller for ivy?

Painted on glyphosate-based stuff is best to minimise drift, and add a few
drops of washing up liquid to break through the waxy coating on the
leaves.

Thanks for that, but:-

How will I know which commercial weedkillers are glyphosate-based, all
you seem to get is the makers name in very large print and the contents
are in microscpic print.

Tumbleweed, Roundup or marked as glyphosate. I am prepared to pay a
bit extra to boycott Monsanto, even though they probably still get a
royalty on it.
