Do you care if the surrounding plants are killed off too? Roundup tends to
kill everything, while others can be more selective.

I would try Ortho Brush-B-Gone Poison Ivy Remover. Here's a picture:

ad it comes from:

I think I saw it at Home Depot, but I think any store that carries Scott
lawn products will carry it. I should mention I've never tried it, so I
don't know if it actually works.

Whatever you use, you may have to apply 2 or 3 applications to get it
completely gone. If the vine is really thick, you'll probably have to cut
it manually. Good luck with getting rid of it.

I have had good luck with an Ortho product "Weed-be-Gone" It works
pretty well and is selective that it doesn't kill everything. It takes
about a week and gradually the PI just withers a dies. It is an on
going battle though as others have described, the birds and plants
just keep reseeding. I would buy the concentrate and apply with a pump
sprayer.
