My Poison Ivy Killing Formula
This is specifically written for people who have severe allergies or don't really understand Poison ivy.
​
It involves using a powerful commercial herbacide, but I'm not going to debate the use of the herbicide. Its effects on the environment are minimal and poison ivy can literally send people to the ER.
​
/1. Go to Walmart or any big box store and find herbicide labeled "Brush Killer" in the lawn & garden section.
​
2. Check the active ingredient label — you want triclopyr. Look for a small concentrated bottle (no built-in sprayer). Buying concentrate and mixing yourself gives you much more control and costs less per application.
​
3. Grab a handheld spray bottle from the cleaning aisle.
​
4. Outside, measure 2 oz of concentrate into the spray bottle and fill the rest with water. This produces a concentration around four to six times stronger than what's commercially sold.
​
5. Coat the poison ivy leaves thoroughly. More contact with plant tissue = more absorption = faster kill. Don't be shy.
​
6. Repeat for 3 consecutive days. The plant will be dead within 5 days. Re-application is KEY. Herbicide works by strangling the plant, it's not a on off switch. Imagine you're smothering the plant with a pillow and it's fighting back.
​
7. Important: This concentration will probably kill any plant it touches. If the Poison Ivy is next to a pretty rose bush and you do my steps. The rose bush will die. We can Discuss other application methods if the poison ivy is close to other plants. But if you're severely allergic, I don't really recommend them.
​
8. Dead poison ivy still contains the chemical that gives you the reaction for several weeks. Avoid the area until the plant has fully broken down; don't pull or burn it.
​
9. Wash hands and any exposed skin thoroughly after each application.
10. If you suspect you had any contact with poison ivy, take a shower and scrub down with dish soap. Wash your clothes in dish soap. Honestly depending on how allergic you are, it's better safe than sorry and you should just do a decontamination scrub every time you go out.
