The answer is simpler than you might guess.

Man this video starts out like some bad commercial. Like the miracle cure for poison ivy. Who would guess it would boil down to timeliness, thoroughness, and a throw away rag. Because lets be real, if that sap is as sticky as the guy said, why would you hang on to a rag like that?

When I was a kid we had a privacy fence covered in poison ivy. Huge thick vines. We couldn't get ride of them for anything. Any time we tried, it was a guaranteed oatmeal bath for weeks afterwards. Seriously, nothing worked. We would poison the ground with herbicides, salt, even hack away at it with cutters. Next summer it was huge again.

Weird how plants work. You plant a rose bush, and if you don't have the PH level juuuuust right, it's a dead plant. Dandelions, poison ivy, etc will thrive in even concrete.

Weird.
