Repeated use of Round Up

Good question... I read somewhere that the oil secreted from it can stick
around long after the ivy itself is gone.

That will work, but weed-b-gone works just as well, and
is much more selective in what it kills. (read the label)

Find someone who isnt sensitive to it [Im lucky- my neighbor can wallow
in it]

For climbing ones - cut down, leaving a foot of stem and immediately
paint [sponge brush] it entirely with concentrated roundup [not
diluted/ready-mix].

The down side - those seeds will continue to germinate for years so you
have to keep after the babies. I pull out with garden gloves on - bag
and toss, dont burn.

But some folks cant get even that close.

If the babies grow in a mow area, regular mowing will kill them.
