I've got a well established ivy problem growing up in a narrow crack
between two areas of concrete on my garden boundary - about 30 foot length
of the stuff. Digging up the concrete is not an option so I'm looking for
the most effect chemical warfare to apply for a permanent solution. There
is nothing growing nearby for many feet nor do we want to grow anything
there in the near future.
Stems are 2-3cm diameter so I could drill holes in and feed a chemical in
perhaps?
Any suggestions please?

I have defeated mass ivy growing on our dry stone walls. I simply cut it all
off, then went back and plucked any new growth about once a month, its now
given up trying. No chemicals used but I did hammer some copper nails into
the few thick trunks I was unable to remove.
