Best way it to pull it up roots and all. If you have axis to heavy equipment you can dig up roots then hook cable or chain to the roots and pull out large clumps at a time. I am going to try a crossbow herbicede with a round up combo to see if it will kill it. So far nothing has killed it other then pulling up the roots.
You can use almost any broad-leaf herbicide. Products such as Roundup(R) will kill it and all other plants but you can re-seed the area after a week or so. DO NOT BURN poison ivy because the smoke will carry the irritating oils. The dead vines will still be able to affect a person months after they were killed.
Consistent pruning and some chemicals sold in most garden stores will get rid of ivy that has taken over your property. You can also pull the ivy plants up by the roots to get rid of the plant.
From my experience, I had to cut it from the bottom and let it die then rip it down. But if it's poison ivy make sure you wear gloves if you are allergic because you can still catch it even if it's dead. Now to make sure it doesn't come back you'll need to dig up the roots. Be careful though because if the oil from the plant gets on anything and then you touch it you'll catch it. I've read that the oil can stay on gloves or even a gardening tool for up to a year so just be careful. Hope this helps.
Find the base of the ivy at ground level cut through the stem twice six inches apart and remove the piece of stem. This will stop the sap flow to the plant and it will die. When the ivy is dead you should be able to pull it from the tree.
Digging up, growing shade-loving plants, mowing at a higher blade setting, mulching, putting down ground cover, solarizing with weighted-down black plastic sheeting and using weedkillers are ways to get rid of ivy. Application of herbicides generally is most effective when applied during the ivy growing seasons of early May to early June and in late August to mid-October. Mowing and mulching need to realize heights of 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) for respectively casting enough shade and suppressing weedy re-growth.
