Takes multiple applications. Requires removing the vines (a nasty operation, you better wear LONG gloves) and be careful not to get dust or leaf fragments on your skin. And notice that there is no "1 year later" picture. This stuff will kill the existing leaves, but the roots of the vines will be untouched, and they will start regrowing in short otder. So, this video rates a C- or D.
I didn't watch completely until the end, but there ought to be a warning about handling and disposing of the dry wilted remaining poison ivy foliage. Whenever I think about "disposing" of something into the trash, I follow the rules regarding the materials or items, but I always think about the human beings 'down the line' who might handle the trash. For instance, if I discard broken glass, I don't just put it in the trash can and forget it. I try to wrap the broken glass in cardboard or heavy paper, and I write on the outside a cautionary message in large block letters, so that the folks at the waste processing plant don't get hurt. I don't know if there is a way to neutralize the poisonous oils in poison ivy to prevent skin injury to anyone. I have read that even trying to burn poison ivy is dangerous, because the gases in the resulting smoke will cause irritation and harm to the respiratory system.
I've tried this snake oil several times on several different sub species of PI in the North Eastern US and have come to the conclusion that while the stuff has an effect on the health of the leaves, it does nothing to effect the health of the root mass. Cutting the vine off at the soil level will only produce a short PI vine which will regrow over time. The leaves of deciduous trees die every fall and return every spring without harming the tree if the root mass and the sugars it stores remain viable during dormancy. The most effective way to destroy poison ivy completely with a folular herbicide is to use a herbicide that contains glyphosate because it will destroy the sugars stored in the plant's roots that were unaffected by the vinegar solution.
This is the best video in the subject of getting rid of poison ivy i have seen. Your pics of the ingredients, the sprayer, the tree before and after the ivy was sprayed AND the music was awesome. Thank you 🕊
Not trying to be a wiseguy here but if you are going to pull off the poison ivy anyway, wouldn't it be easier to just do it without using the chemicals? Especially if you can still catch poison ivy from the dead leaves and vines and have to use the same protection to remove the dead foliange as you would if they were alive. Does it kill the plant down to the root or will with root sprout new vines?
I’ve tried this and it doesn’t work. The salt, which is what does the killing in Round Up, will kill the leaves, but the actual vine won’t be affected. Sorry
@@amalias8888poison ivy is a very resilient plant, and having tried this methid for years, saw the same plant grow back until tried to pull it up with gloves on, and the leaves brushed against my upper arms. Boom poison ivy rash for 2 weeks😂
Eason salt is magnesium sulfate. Table salt is sodium chloride. The magnesium is more toxic to plants. The. @mount of table salt needed would render the soil fallow for years. Remember the fall of Carthage? The Romans salted the fields so no one could live there.
From my own experience, after you have contact with poison ivy, you must wash thoroughly all your exposed skin with soap and water. Also, clean your clothes and tools as well to get rid of the oily resin, urushiol, from poison ivy left behind. The worst scenario if you get poison ivy rash after a few days, get the poison ivy treatment from the drugstore and the rash might take a week or two to see improved.
The biggest part of getting rid of the oils is using a wet rag to wash with, as it creates a ton more friction in areas you think are clean, to actually wipe away the oils.
@Average User how long till the ground could be planted? Your best guess! I've got some gnarly old poison ivy on one side of my property. One vine going up a tree has several branches and is as big as your wrist or more.
I’ve got a LARGE poison ivy patch growing like mad in the crawl space of my home , to which I just found recently doing a remodeling project . I thought it was just an outside thing and sprayed it down with a chemical , which did in fact take care of a lot of it growing on the outside , but it kept growing back , year after year !

3 ways. 1 - Roundup 2 - dig it all up, and be prepared to do it again since you'll probably miss a few pieces, so keep a close eye on the affected area 3 - put down plasic over the entire area and leave it for a year.
Only if you use industrial grade vinegar and it still might come back. I used the industrial strength vinegar full strength (which is not recommended) and some did return.
@@darrenbishopsr.9562 thanks for that - i live in the uk and i was wondering as cannot find much info as to which ivy leaves i can actually eat............i have a garden full of them
they say if you get stung by mosquitoes and itch a lot, just roll in the ivy naked and the next day you will not be worry about the mosquitoes bites!!!!!
Of course it does it’s an invasive plant that strangles trees that hurt your ecosystem in your yard. It was brought over here from England and it has spread and does much damage. It doesn’t provide food shelter for the important critters in your soil, birds don’t forage in it and it doesn’t provide any food for wildlife.
Ok does this prevent it from growing?? That's what i need cuz I have it worse than most people have ever seen. Worse than in the deep woods out in the country a long time landscaper said to me!!! I need something powerful enuf to kill Satan!! Even roaches!! Lol ( if that's possible).

I heard that triclopyr is more effective, than glyphosate.

Can't believe how fast and easy this was!!! So incredibly happy with the results ♥️☺️💯
Did you tried? It worked?
any vegetable oil will kill the leaves on a hot sunny day. They turn black right away. You can still plant in the area.
Not trying to be a wiseguy here but if you are going to pull off the poison ivy anyway, wouldn't it be easier to just do it without using the chemicals? Especially if you can still catch poison ivy from the dead leaves and vines and have to use the same protection to remove the dead foliange as you would if they were alive.

Your correct. All you need to do is pull up the roots then wash all clothes and tools you wore.
I’ve tried this and it doesn’t work. The salt, which is what does the killing in Round Up, will kill the leaves, but the actual vine won’t be affected. Sorry
wouldn't this mix hurt the tree?
Wouldn't it be easier just to cut the vine at the base?
I agree. I also don't want to kill the plants that it's growing around.
It could have rooted into the bark.
@@bill-2018 And it could have not. It will un root when it dies from the stem being cut.
@@amalias8888 I did it last year and then got more spuds from the same plant.

thank you!
I have a carpet of the stuff in my forest floor so most won't have direct sunlight, will it still work?
Good question. I have the same situation.
You have to dig up the roots and then keep the grass cut around the tree.
Thank you
What if you do not want to harm the tree? This tree is already dead.
Doesn’t it also kill the tree and grass?
Why Eason salt instead of table salt ?
Eason salt is magnesium sulfate. Table salt is sodium chloride.
The magnesium is more toxic to plants.
The. @mount of table salt needed would render the soil fallow for years.
Remember the fall of Carthage? The Romans salted the fields so no one could live there.
i used table salt and it worked just fine
Thanks for the info.
I’m going through my second bout of poison ivy rash this month. I’m miserable. It’s everywhere in my large yard. I’m going to need to try this

Benadryl works for me. The sooner you take it the better.

@@lovepeony1478 Use a detergent that cuts oil. The aggravating part from Poison Ivy/Oak is oil based. (Dawn is used by many folks)
Get some jewel weed salve. It works!! I’d get poison ivy rashes for weeks at a time, now I put some salve on at first sign, and it’s no big deal.
Fuel oil.is the best thing to use. It works the best.
What else will this mixture kill? How long till other plants can be planted on the ground where it was sprayed?
@Average User how long till the ground could be planted? Your best guess! I've got some gnarly old poison ivy on one side of my property. One vine going up a tree has several branches and is as big as your wrist or more.
What name brand sprayer are you using, and do you recommend it?
I don't know the brand, but it was around $8 at Walmart.
Will the mixture kill the root also?
So far it has, over two years later the ivy still has not returned.
Yes because the leaves absorb it and it goes down into the roots.

This mixture helped get rid of the patch we had. Just make sure to do it on hot days. Poison ivy can be a night mare!
my question also what to do about the roots ???
@@samwisegamgee289 After it dried, I pulled them up from the ground and they haven't come back so far.
Put black plastic under the house. It will keep it dry and kills plants. Home Depot sells it by the rolls.
3 ways. 1 - Roundup 2 - dig it all up, and be prepared to do it again since you'll probably miss a few pieces, so keep a close eye on the affected area 3 - put down plasic over the entire area and leave it for a year.
Will regular salt work?
Yes
Thanks.
One of my concerns were will it kill the tree . Hopefully that tree was already dead ? Thanks
The tree is still living. 🙂 The mixture is not strong enough to kill a tree.
I heard VINEGAR by itself could kill it too?
Only if you use industrial grade vinegar and it still might come back. I used the industrial strength vinegar full strength (which is not recommended) and some did return.
@@donnawojdacz6969 Ok thanks
Does not work!
Here for the music 😍😭
Can this be used on your poison ivy rash as well to kill it
No
have you any idea of the health benefits of ivy - its more than just a weed, this is something i came across today.......its a life saver........
Other nice things are healthy too
Eff poison ivy

@@rodrigjose lol, no but you will deal with the ivy rash instead.
Does poison ivy kill trees? I have mulberry trees in my yard with poison ivy growing under them but not up them and the trees seem to be suffering.
It can suffocate new growth and take nutrients away from trees.
Of course it does it’s an invasive plant that strangles trees that hurt your ecosystem in your yard. It was brought over here from England and it has spread and does much damage. It doesn’t provide food shelter for the important critters in your soil, birds don’t forage in it and it doesn’t provide any food for wildlife.
I understand poison ivy will take over the plants.
Will this ruin the soil afterwards ?
All the salt and vinegar cNt be too good for the soil
You probably can't plant anything unless you add more soil back to the area.
Vinegar is very harmful for nature. It lowers the pH of the groundwater for a long periode of time. It is devastating for all soil-living organisms.
I am crazy allergic to it! Could you just leave it on without removing it. I am scared to even touch it with gloves, I AM THAT ALLERGIC TO IT!
After the spraying of course!
@@jonathanmosebach2921 I'm sure you could just spray and leave it. Hopefully, it won't spread anymore once it is dried up if left.
Everyone is allergic to it! LOL!
@@jampasritalon4180 80 percent of people so yep pretty much
Is it safe for pets once it dries?? I would imagine it’s safer than the commercial poison ivy killers
Poison ivy oils will still be there even after plant is dead.
I can eat poison ivy. Doesn't affect me.
