Kill poison ivy that keep coming back?

I am sure this has been covered, but the search function is lacking.
I have poison ivy in the back of my property that just keeps coming back. I have used Roundup, Roundup for poison ivy and other week killers. The poison ivy will die, but then will come back.
Here it is spring and the grass is greening up and I see the little vines of the poison ivy coming up.
Any hints? Or just keep using round up?

Hack them good and then use roundup for poison ivy. Come back in two weeks and do the same.

There are much fewer leaves now.
but the poison ivy is like a zombie or something.. it wont die.

Cut the big vines then pour herbicide directly on the exposed root.

Use the concentrate. Do not mix with water.

If you're mad enough at it, put some Diquat to it.
There is a Roundup product that has Diquat in it - think it is Roundup Pro.

Trichlopyr herbicide. Might require multiple applications over time but very effective.

Might have to put on a hazmat suit so I don't the vine oil on me! lol

I had success 2 years ago rubbing regular Roundup on the leaves using a piece of foam rubber (and wearing disposable gloves).

Diquat is the only thing I've found that can control it. It'll have it dead in 48 hours, and anything else green you spray it on!

How is RM43 for such a problem?

Cut them at the base, mix some diesel fuel and round up together then paint it on at the cut stem. Through capillary action, it will kill it all.

It is a perennial plant, so the best time to apply herbicides for long term control is in fall between Sept 15 to Oct 15. At that time the “sink-source” is reversed from upper plant growth to being stored in storage organs underground. So the Roundup you apply at that time will mostly be moved to the underground storage organs and lead to long term control of the entire plant. Before that the majority is moved to active growth above ground, controlling only what you see. Same for others mentioned like triclopyr and others.

You may have to use diesel.

had the same problem you are having.,only way I won was...I gloved up... goggles....long sleeve...long pants...and went digging ..the little sprouts often pop up and you will see them in a line sorta ...dig at the sprout a few inches and you will find the subsurface root runner..chase them down...sometime you can grab the runner and pull up while walking down and popping it out of the ground...these were thick runners 20 feet long......I did win when using this method...poison ivy will make me blister if I touch the wet part of the plant..
Good luck
