Default Killing Ivy

What's good for killing ivy without harming nearby fruit trees?
The neighbouring land (not someone's garden) has a couple of seriously
overgrown ivy plants and they're growing onto my property and also growing
all over the fruit trees next to them. I'd like some sort off weedkiller
to kill them that won't harm the trees.


Can't you just cut the plants off a few inches below the soil level, the
tops will then die and they don't come back from the roots.
