In this video I test four alternatives to Roundup for killing poison ivy that also will not kill surrounding surrounding vegetation if used carefully: Bonide Poison Oak & Ivy Killer, BioAdvanced Brush Killer, Ortho WeedClear, and a homemade solution of salt and soap.

Spoiler alert – all these solutions work for killing poison ivy, but some work better than others, which the video demonstrates. All can be purchased through major retailers or on online (except the homemade one). When in doubt, google it.

There are other methods to kill poison ivy beyond these, so please feel free to comment with your favorites.

Always take precautions when handling chemicals or poisonous substances. This video is not meant to demonstrate safety measures.
