Poison ivy

Best way to get rid of poison ivy? I have some in my backyard that has always been there behind my fence but now it’s starting to creep thru the fence. Anybody got any recommendations?

Ditto Round Up, but if the plants behind your fence have been there for years, there will be an extensive network of buried roots resprouting for a long time. Just keep spraying as long as sprouts reappear.

Triclopyr. Dont let it get on trees. It works well on woody plants and poison ivy.

How long in between treatments should I wait?

I have cut large stems and painted with full strenght roundup.
You just have to be careful not to get that black juice on you.

Exactly this. It's going to be a long term battle for OP.
I also recommend the Roundup with the yellow cap. It works very well.

I got all smug on this board last year bragging about how I never had to worry any poison ivy again with my small manicured yard....
... Then we freaking moved again and I'm back in the wild with ticks, chiggers and poison ivy everywhere I go.
String trimming it with sunglasses on the other day then the sun went behind a cloud and I took them off and immediately 'won' a fleck of poison ivy hitting my eye lid so I've been dealing with a big red welp next to my eye for the last week.
Never brag.

Round Up and similar herbicides work on live foliage. As soon as you see newly sprouted leaves (groups of 3), spray them. The actual time intervals will vary with heat and rain.
You might try digging out some of the roots. They run horizontally just a couple of inches under the surface. Two problems to that approach are- (1) the roots are also toxic, (2) they look like most other vine roots.

Round Up Poison Ivy
It only kills the runners but you will have to routinely visually check the area once per week for new runners popping up. I've been fighting this battle for 5 years now on the part of my property that backs up to the woods. I'll snipe the new leaves that pop up every time within a day or two of them popping up but theres always new ones showing up a week or so later.

I feel for people who are highly allergic to that shite. For whatever reason it doesn’t make me break out
fun fact, poison ivy is in the same plant family as mangoes, cashews and pistachio

Another fun fact to add to yours: that is why you can't buy cashews in a "shell". It has that same poison ivy affect on people. That and people probably wouldn't eat them if they saw them in the wild. Looks like an apple taking a dump!
