Get rid of poison oak and poison ivy by spraying the plants with Finale herbicide, allowing the spray to work for several days and then digging up the roots of the plants. Because it is a non-selective herbicide, be very careful when spraying Finale by considering advice from a professional landscaper in this free video on lawn care.

  • 1 Obtain an empty plastic spray bottle. These can be purchased cheaply, or you can simply rinse out an old cleaning solution bottle. 2 Fill the bottle half way with warm water. 3 Add half a cup of salt. 4 Add two cups of bleach. 5 Add half a cup of hydrogen peroxide. 6 Mix the solution together. Allow the salt to dissolve. 7 Spray in large sweeping motions over the poison ivy. Be quite generous, soaking the plants. This works wonders as well.

  • If I have to dig the plant up anyway after I first use the spray , why would I bother spraying it in the first place?

  • @josiah162 no lol

  • can u use this stuff on your skin after u already have poison ivy?

  • iI know a way to get rid of it too,get bleach dump some bleach on a white towl then rub where it itches but if the poison is on your face do not bleach your face with it it is dangerous to use the bleach on your face. the bleach will sting for a minute but it is worth it.

  • if you keep pulling it up, even just the leaves, it will die. Good method if you don't want to buy expensive chemicals

  • @KiddyPoops ...agree. I turned on the faucet as hot as I could take it for about 30 seconds or so. I think the hot water kills or deadens the nerves and you won't feel the itch.  Made a world of difference.

  • This guy looks like a major past pot smoker. And for a tip, jsut cut the bloody root at the base of the ivy, all along the bottom, itl never come back x

  • I got  brush to clear that contains poison ivy, poison oak and sumacs. I am going to cut it then herbicide it. I am trying rock salt to kill brush.

  • @jalemo21 That was my first thought lol
