At what concentration did you apply it? I've used Roundup
successfully on Poison Ivy, but you have to apply it at about 7%
concentration, as opposed to 1 or 2% which will work on broadleaf
weeds. If you bought one of the pre-mixed hand sprayer bottles at
low concentration, that's the problem. It's also much cheaper to buy
in concentrated form and mix your own.

On the other hand, if it's poison ivy and similar harder to kill
plants that are the main target, one of the products specific for
brush is what I would use.
