Can anyone recommend a herbicide for poison ivy, brush and vines? I see a roundup has a product for poison ivy and brush, has anyone used it?

I have about 3/4 of an acre wooded area that we just cleared. We left healthy trees. We just need a herbicide to keep ivy, vines and brush in control after the clearing. I will be applying by hand with sprayer.

RM43 should do the trick.

Edit: On second thought, it might not be the safest around trees.

Bonide BK32. Doubt it's safe to use above the root zone of desirable plants or trees.

Gasoline has always worked.

Something with Triclopyr

You can find it in a bunch of herbicides. Roundup brush and ivy killer
Crossbow
Are two.

Cross bow won’t kill the grass. Just have to be careful to not spray leaves on the trees.

I’ve used the round up version a lot the past two months on freshly cleared areas. I can confirm that it will kill poison ivy. Takes about 2 weeks for full effect.

One of the benefits of Roundup is that it is a contact herbicide and rapidly degrade with contact with the earth. One of the disadvantages is that it is not selective and will kill everything that it contacts so your grass will die too.

Roundup and diesel mix 50/50.

Will kill everything though so be careful what you spray it on.

That is the only thing I've used that keeps it at bay. It laughs at regular roundup

Like some have replied Triclopyr, add a little surfactant and wear a respirator. Don’t spray on leaves or damaged bark of trees you want to keep.

Round up makes a woody vine concentrate that works fairly well. If you don't have environmental concerns diesel works well too

As others have mentioned, triclopyr works fine. It also has the capacity to kill the trees above whose root zone you apply it.

Remedy is the way to go. That stuff is amazing. Worth every penny.

Paraquat if you have a connection to get it. Diaquat if you don’t.

There's no need to mix Triclopyr with 2,4-d. Triclopyr destroys Poison Ivy. Just be careful around desirable trees.
