Have you tried 2,4D? It works on my poison ivy.

Hi Frank,
2,4D (aka Agent Orange) might work, especially if I could drop it out of
the sky like they did in Vietnam - which - is my real problem with weed
killers.

The poison oak plants I have are 20 feet long by something like 5 to 10
to 20 feet deep, so, there's just no way a normal weed killer sprayer is
going to go the distance.

Today I tried to see if I could get my pressure washer to suck out of the
5 gallon pesticide jug - but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

Does anyone know how to get a pressure washer to spray the stuff?
