Yes it is Poison Ivy. It can be hard to remove permanently. This time of year I usually wear gloves and long sleeves and hand pull it (be careful that the snapping vines don't whip you in the face), stuff it into a plastic bag and toss it in the trash. In the fall just as the leaves start to change color I spray it with Roundup. No matter what I do it is a constant weed in my garden.

And throw away the gloves after you use them, because you can catch poison oak for several years from the gloves... I am living proof, took me a couple of years to figure out where I was getting the poison oak, even though I wasn't around any.

Yep!

That is poison Ivy!!!!

I have a lot of vines that have climbed on the trees in my backyard..

Every now and then I see a small seedling in my veggie garden.. I am very careful when removing them.

The thick vines are seriously tough to kill.. I have tried every thing , They just come back... :-(

There is a saying about poison oak: Leaf of three, let if be

Poison Ivy is a very nasty plant. If it is small, use a spade shovel to loosen the plant and soil from about a foot from the stem. Wearing latex gloves, long sleeves and a face mask gently pull the plant until you have all the roots. Like a previous poster said, dispose of plant(s) in a plastic bag along with the gloves (turn inside out to remove when done). If it is growing up a tree and is of a large size, use clippers to cut the vine close to the ground and put a couple of drops of RoundUp on the cut surface of the root. Wait a week or so and repeat as necessary (remember the plant is still living). The poison ivy growing up the tree will probably die in several months but be very cautious and protected when removing vine from tree trunk. Try not to breathe in the spores.

Good luck, been battling this stuff for years.

Does anyone else feel as if poison ivy is taking over..., seems much more common than in the past. I have all over and always seem to be battling it!
