Hi Jill
What you want is 2-4-D its a stump and brush killer. I usually get mine at TSC but I think you can get it a Lows or Home Depo too. My neighbor is a big farmer and told me to mix roundup with 2-4-D for spraying my fence rows. What one doesn't kill the other does. I have been using that mix in a 16 gal sprayer that mounts on the back of my four wheeler and that works out great on my seven acres. I had some of those poison ivy vines and used it on them. I had to spray them a few times but was able to get it killed off in one summer. I probably should have poured on the 2-4-D directly on the stump as I did to the mulberries but I didn't try it.
I kept on getting poison ivy even though I knew that I wasn't anywhere near it. One day I saw my horse eating the leaves right off of the vine. And I mean great big mouthfuls. I called my best friend Dave and said "I think my horse just killed himself" After talking to him and doing some research I found out poison ivy does not bother most animals. And my horse was giving me the poison ivy.
