Oh then lets spend billions of dollars to stop poison ivy (and wheat and soy-beans) from growing faster.

I did my part Sunday - I took an axe to several poison ivy vines growing up trees around my house.

Are you sure it was poison ivy and not Virginia Creeper? They are very similar and many people call VC, Poison Ivy. It's still a pest weed but not poisonous..........

I have PI growing low around my woods. I used the Brush-B-Gone and it killed a lot of it. I sprayed again early this year. I have to do it again.

Now I have to find that yellow jacket nest that had sentries on my trail this morning.

I did a serious Round-Up weed-nuking session Monday morning with the 4-gallon backpack sprayer. There's poison ivy coming through the fence at the NE corner of the lot. I may have to go to the far side of the fence and nuke the poison ivy on the west side of the neighbors' lots, next time around, to get at the source of the problem.

I did the same last week but unfortunately I got just a little bit on me...not too bad but I'm sure it's worse because of Global Warming...-sarc
