24D if you don't want to kill grass around it, pramitol if it don't matter if glyphosphate doesn't scare you, roundup is cheaper.

Does 24D kill shrubs and trees too?

Glyphosphate. Sometimes it takes two applications

Cheapest way is to pull it out, depends on how allergic you are to it. I've used nitrile gloves with a set of jersey gloves over top. And long sleeves. But you playing with fire and after a while you're gonna get burnt

Round up with a tablespoon of dish soap to the gallon. Never had any issues with it not working.

I have severe reactions to poison ivy and poison oak. I use to use Roundup ,, I want the stuff dead dead dead,



You need to get rid of the oil as fast as possible if on your skin?clothing. The last bad exposure I had , I bought a 1/2 gallon of the no name yellow Dawn dish soap. Straight-up soap on my skin, over and over and over until that 1/2 gallon was gone. .

Doesn't faze me, I can pull the stuff barehanded. Though I do try to avoid rubbing up against the leaves.

Though as a kid I used to break out bad every summer at least a couple times. I'm talking eyes swollen shut bad. The worst was the big water blisters between the toes and mama insisting on wearing shoes to church.

Somewhere along the line my hard headed self not staying away from it developed a tolerance for it I guess.

Used jewel weed as a kid , haven't caught a bad case of it in over 65 years.
If it feel an itch , I just rub jewel weed on it , and haven't had a bad case in like I said over 65 years.
It works on bug bites also.

I just pull it , but many people aren't able because they catch it easily.
Round up is about the best , and like said above use some dish soap to break the surface tension , and soak the leaves and plant good.

Does 24D kill shrubs and trees too?

yes if you spray them with it, it kills any broadleaf, will not kill grass. if its climbing trees, cut it off waist high, pull it away from the tree, paint the fresh cut end with 24D, crossbow, or roundup full strength.

What bowhunter said. The dish soap really helps. Shampoo works for me. I use Roundup or it’s generic.
