It would work better if temps were 80-90.

I WILL TRY THE SOAP AND SALT, MY NEIGHBORS POISON IVY IS GROWING OVER AND THROUGH MY PRIVACY FENCE, THEY WON'T TAKE CARE OF IT, I WILL! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATIVE TESTING EXPERIMENT. PERSONALLY I'D NEVER USE CHEMICALS.

I use a product called Relegate. Kills poison ivy dead. I have 10 acres of woods and Relegate is the only product I have found to control it.

Cross Bow is what I am experimenting with

You have proven to be able to kill poison ivy leaves, but the underground runners are very hardy, I predict the vines will sprout twice as many leaves in a month

No flashing or anything behind that ledger board? Just surrounding it with j channel? 😬

I really dig the pants

Try 2-4D or Ortho Weed B-Gon

If there was a way to come up with a wireless remote portable brush mower you could mow down the poison ivy then another remote unit could spray the area. Maybe have a drone to spray a solution that would keep the ivy from growing back.

A few years ago I wanted to kill some poison ivy along the sides of an inactive rail corridor near where I live. I had read that using a solution to kill the ivy it was best to have the roots of the ivy exposed then spray. So I clipped with clippers a pretty long swath about 15' long. Then a week later went back with two spray bottles with white vinegar, Dawn Dish Soap, and Morton salt in a measured solution. After two weeks I noticed the ivy was dying off.

Poison ivy runs vines up trees and flowers. You need to kill the flower vines our you’ll never get rid of it.

I have a question please: My dad & I planted trees around the perimeter of his 2 acre property. The trees are almost 40 yrs old now. I would like to use the trees as the "posts" for this type of fencing (to keep our dog in and try to keep it looking as natural as possible). Can i use those u-shaped clips you used on your split rail fence, on the trees?

One small correction. That's not "corrugated" roof panels you put up. Corrugated is the wavy stuff that looks like it belongs on some ugly back yard shed. What you put up is called "twin wall" polycarbonate panels. Also they are available as of this writing at Menards with free ship to store but you have to get them home from there yourself, a real challenge for 12 ft long material.

I get right on poison ivy as soon as I see it. I pull the runners. One man said pull a runner up, cut the end and stick it into a jar of roundup, covered with plastic cling wrap. This should cause the vine to draw in the round up without destroying the land.

Crossbow. Dead.

Also as i've worked as a carpenter for close to 40 years and noticed you used a level when installing ykur gate hinges I always tilted my hinges out away from tge center as the first thing that wears out in a hinge is the barrell tends to get loose and the gate will drop to the center which could cause them to bind anyway it was a great video

Cat shouldn’t be anywhere near where you’re spraying 🙀

Recent study about infertility France found 47% of sperm had glyphosate 😱 (the Guardian)

I don’t know how many RxS of steroids I’ve need for P.I. On dr said I’d had the worst case he’d ever seen

Goats.

❤❤❤ BONIDE!!

Plain old grass killer

Blake give this one a try, as it has worked very well for me, when a lot of others have failed. The important thing is the active chemical & how it's mixed (concentrate). Find "Diquat dibromide 2.3% along with Fluazifop-p-butyl 1.15%" mixture. Mix 7 oz per gallon of water. The manufacturer isn't important, but the one I use is Spectracide Weed & Grass Killer. This is a non-selective weed killer. Even a light mist carried by the wind will kill any green plant foliage it hits. For $15 or so, it's worth a try. Good luck.

Thought about goats?

I wonder if a surfactant like baby shampoo would have helped the salt mixture?

So you bought our farm eh....hehehehe....yeah it never fun having all them poison plants around...this time of year is always the worst for it

I think I have Sumac which is similar. I am not sure if there is a non irritating variety but I know that it works the same way as poison ivy. DON'T burn poison ivy, if you inhale that smoke you will need an ER visit right away!!! That is because if you are allergic to it you could have your airways inflamed making it hard to breathe. Not only that but even if you survive the itchiness in your throat will be one of the most awful things you can experience!!

i just pull it out of the ground. it literally surrounds me on all sides

Luckily, my frost line is below 5 inches. I would use solar light post caps, adds ambience.

Roots found at dig sites that were over 200 y/o still have oils that can cause a reaction. So roots must be dug out to be safe.

Why ruin a nice video with that awful sounding ADDED NOISE?

Salt soap and vinegar, the best way is to remove by roots and dispose.

if you can find the main vine/base of the plant and cut out about a 6inch section in it…everything above the cut out section will die very quickly and will not grow back. I had a huge growth of poison ivy growing up my chimney of my house and another bunch growing up into a dogwood tree…this method was the easiest way to permanently get rid of it.

Nice video! Appreciate your comparison tactics….tho using a product stored for 12 years in a shed subjected to hot/cold is questionable. 🤣. Gosh, they all looked pretty ineffective….or….disappointing. Please, when you spray chemicals - wear gloves on that spray hand. Best of luck getting ahead of these monsters. 👍🏻

With so much poison ivy, goats might be an easier treatment and no poisons are needed. They’re very thorough! CAS NC

why does poison ivy like to grow up my oak trees???

So you’re standing in your back yard looking at the house. On the left is that ugly overhang. What was the thought process behind that? Beautiful house.

Why would you use RoundUp on Rhus..... use brush killer...

Common cooking vinegar has 5% acidity, but some of the big-box hardware-store replacements might carry 30% vinegar, which works much better sprayed on some cursed-leaves. But if PI loves an acidic soil, this might mot be helpful, on second thought. Back to the beakers and test tubes. (Harumph.)

Regardless of your choice of spray, add some dye. It won't do anything by itself, but it will show you where you have and haven't sprayed. Farm and feed stores have it economically. A little goes a long way.

Just use cornerstone, I have killed 3 in poison ivy vines with this stuff

I live in northeast north dakota, where we get 5 ft of snow every year and it gets down to -40 below, we also have a windchill factor of up to -50 degrees and high 75 mph winds, do you think your deck roof wood be able to withstand the extreme weather of our part of the country?

Poison Ivy spreads by the roots under and above the ground. if you don't clear it out by the roots, it will eventually take over everything because it spreads like Kudzu. If you do pull it out by the roots, whatever you do, DO NOT BURN IT! The smoke will kill you!

*Quick Tips:* None of the products will work as claimed without lots of direct sun exposure after treatment. Anything shaded is not going to react. Also, there is nothing that will kill poison ivy without killing everything else around it. And, if you use enough product to kill the roots of the ivy, you'll also kill the trees around it. Just because the leaves wilt doesn't mean the ivy's dying. Good Lock.

Get yourself a propane tank and a torch with about 10-15’ hose. You have fairly flat land so strap your tank to a dolly. You don’t burn the ivy, you scorch it. The cells in the leaves burst and the plant dies. Recommend you do this after a rain. It will take a week to se results

thank lord im not allergic to it.by the way....virginia creeper is also in the poison ivy,oak and sumac family.if youre BAD allergic...creeper will get ya too. i used to do this for a living.whatever you decide to use,try and spray when its 80 degrees or hotter.unfortunately,what really works is bad for you too.high % glyphosate and diquat concentrates mixed together.if you have or can get a heavy duty commercial sprayer,mix diesel fuel...about one cup per gallon and joy liquid dish soap.kill it all for about a year

Maybe if you turn your hat around the right way you can figure out how to spray a plot of poison ivy evenly and thoroughly, instead of hit and miss.

Guess you dont get much wind. Or sun. That clear plastic will intensify that sun. Not smart. And any kind of storm it will be a beautiful flying projectile

Still, I wish you tried, water, soap, salt and vinegar for comparison.

Thank you. This was very thorough and helpful. I have a brain injury (born with Chiari) and struggle to find DIY videos that I can actually process the information from. Great work explaining. Seeing this video made me feel more confident in building my first garden.
