My son planted Myrtle on a steep bank beside his house. Now Poison Ivy has taken over. We have tried for years to pull it up & spray it, but it still hangs on & IS GETTING WORSE. How can we kill it for good?

======================
Hello Sally,
We offer a product called Vine X (which you can find quickly by entering Vine in our search box). This is a vine and brush control product. It comes in a container that you apply directly on the ivy itself. The ivy absorbs the product and dies off. It worked beautifully for me when last spring, the Easter weekend freeze wiped out all of our hybrid wisteria that covered our garden arbor. The root system, which was not the same as the top grafted part, began putting out sprouts everywhere. Steve started using the Vine X everywhere he found sprouts, as well as the trunk where we had to cut down to, over summer. By late summer, the root system had died and no more sprouts.
Vine X is much safer and easier to apply than roundup or other herbicides.
You may want to consider it. Otherwise, the only way to get rid of poison ivy is to regularly apply herbicides, which can also kill other plants in the vicinity.
Thank you for your inquiry.
Cheryl Jones
