Default Poison Ivy

Just discovered that my backyard has plenty of poison Ivy growing.
This in the woods that belong to me. What is the best way to kill
them? Googling it, I found its not easy to kill, but there is hope.
Has anyone tried the salt+detergent+vinegar combination with any
good results?


The only long term success I have had is to get in there well covered
with gloves, a shovel and a root puller and rip it out by the roots.
Be very careful if you burn it, because the smoke can spread the
resin, even into your lungs and eyes.
