how do you kill poison ivy!?

[mattg1500]

I dont know, I get it every year when I hang stands....Got it now as a matter of fact!

I got it a few weeks ago. I was careful and used tecnu stuff. One time I didn't pay attention I paid the price

[not on the rug]

Good old Dr. Kuser from Rutgers used to teach dendrology (plants).  He would pick a branch of poison ivy and rub it with his fingers then rub it on his cheeks and talk about how soft and smooth it felt.  Of course half the class would do the same thing, not knowing what it was.  After a few minutes he would tell them it was poison ivy.      

 

Sounds like an asshole

I don't get poison ivy, so I leave it alone.  My wife gets it, and it's growing near the garbage cans.  I think she's using that to make me take the trash out.  Time to get some Round-Up to fix that problem.  The garbage, not the ivy.

I don't get it, so I just pull it.  But I do spray the larger vines with a "heavy" mix of regular Round-up.  I like instant gratification when I spray weeds.  No time to wait a week or so for the results.

That guy needs to be punched in the taint.

Pigs love it. If you have a friend with a pet Pot Belly let it loose in your yard. My Pigs kept our entire farm (which was loaded) Poison Ivy Free. It has no effect on them at all. The down fall is PB Pigs will bump your leg with their nose to get your attention. Yup that Ivy covered Nose lol.

Ok, I sprayed my wife with Round up and she is still asking me to take out the garbage, any other suggestions? I also noticed her tone has changed too lol

I'm lucky.  I can rip it down with bare hand roots leaves anything and it doesn't give me any rash. Never tried the yam bag thing though. lol

I don't get it either but do not burn it I know the flame thrower thing is a joke but we had a brush fire that involved a pretty good patch of it and the 2 guys on the back of the brush truck got it pretty bad and inhaled the spores it was nasty n had to go to hospital. . Just incase the thought of burning it crossed your mind
