Recipe to Kill Poison Ivy

• 1/2 cup Orange Oil
• 1 gal 20% vinegar
• 1 tsp liquid soap

Mix above ingredients and spray on poison ivy leaves. If vine is in tree, cut the vine at base of tree, when it sprouts spray with mixture. Typically, poison ivy will sprout again after 1 application, but will not after the second application. Caution: be sure to clean your tools, hands and possibly clothes with Tecnu cleanser to remove the poison ivy oils.

NOTE that this mixture will kill any plant on which it is sprayed, not just poison ivy. Also, 20% vinegar is very strong and you will want to protect your self, children and animals from fumes.
