How to Identify a Poison Ivy Plant/Vine
Many people grew up learning the phrase “leaves of three, leave it be” as a way to identify poison ivy. However, it turns out that many plants (even harmless ones) also have three leaves.
So what’s a better way to properly identify poison ivy?
How to identify poison ivy leaves? Look for a three leaf pattern
Yes, poison ivy has three leaves. What is important is how they look and where they are. Poison ivy (with the exception of Virginia Creeper and Boxelder) has three leaflets that grow at the end of the stem. Check the foliage without touching the plant.
There will be one main leaflet at the end and then two smaller leaflets beneath it on opposite sides of the stalk.
Does Poison Ivy climb?
Poison Ivy plants like to climb around trees.Poison ivy loves to climb, so you can often find it climbing up tree trunks, fences, and walls.
How does Poison Ivy grow?
It’s NOT always a vine! Whereas other plants may grow in a very specific way, poison ivy is more versatile.
It’s not always a vine; sometimes poison ivy appears as a shrub
It can creep up a tree, bunch up as a shrub, sprout as a single plant, or even become a thick, green blanket on the ground.
Does Poison Ivy have Thorns?
It doesn’t have thorns but the vine is hairy or fuzzy along the stem. So, take a good look at the plant. If it’s thick and hairy, it might be poison ivy.
The leaves turn red in fall and dull after rain
Though the leaves are green early in the season, by fall, they will turn red. They may also lose their usual waxy sheen after it rains, becoming dull in appearance.
Does Poison Ivy have Berries?
The small berries of the Poison Ivy vine are poisonous to humansPoison ivy will grow very small berries that look like tiny pumpkins. They can vary in color from white or yellowish to blue-black or dark red, depending on the variety.
Can Humans eat Ivy Berries? Are they Edible?
No, never eat the berries of a poison ivy vine! The small berries are poisonous to humans. If you have young children, this is another very good reason to get rid of any poison ivy plants in your yard.
Why You Should Get Rid of Poison Ivy
Now, you may wonder why so many people make a big fuss about poison ivy. Admittedly, although it is called poison ivy, not everyone is actually allergic to it.
Some people can touch poison ivy and not be affected at all. However, others can merely be near or brush up against the tiniest leaf and break out in a painful skin rash or blisters.
In extreme cases, a person may even go into anaphylactic shock!
In addition, they may even touch a pet who has rolled around in poison ivy and end up suffering an allergic reaction.
That’s why, even if you aren’t personally allergic to poison ivy, it is a good idea to get rid of it anyway – especially if you have friends, family, or neighbors who may be allergic.
Another reason you should get on top of things when you discover poison ivy is that it can grow out of control, climbing up and around trees, homes, and other structures to the point where it can actually cause structural damage.
While it takes time for this to happen, it’s better to just nip it in the bud as soon as possible.
So use this homemade poison ivy killer recipe and start getting rid of this weed in your yard today.
A few notes to consider before killing Poison Ivy
Before I give you this homemade poison ivy and weed killer recipe, here are a few things to keep in mind:
The poison ivy plants that are not too old (less than a year old) respond extremely well to this treatment. I highly recommend killing the poison ivy as soon as you see it growing.
Plants from older, more established roots will die but may come back a year later. You will have to spray the plants again.
Simply spray the new growth again with the natural weed killer. The roots will die of exhaustion because all of their energy will be wasted in putting out all that new growth for nothing.
Some really old roots are made of mutant zombie stuff, and may need a few more repeat doses.
Use straight vinegar (no water added) to make the spray more potent.
This recipe is not JUST for poison ivy. Since the combination basically kills and suffocates plants, it can get rid of many different plants growing in your garden – including weeds and plants you want to keep. It also kills off weed seed.
So, go ahead and use it on poison ivy poison oak and any other poisonous plants. Make sure you ONLY spray it on plants you want to get rid of. For best results, use this on a sunny day when there is no rain in the forecast.
Let’s move on to the natural recipe for how to get rid of poison ivy.
How to Get Rid of Poison Ivy without Killing other Plants
Yeah, well there’s really only one way to get rid of the vines without killing any other plants. You cannot get any spray onto any plants you want to save.
This homemade poison ivy killer cannot discern between “bad” plants and “good” plants. One way around this is to use a small spray bottle and set the spray to a very fine setting. No misting!
How does vinegar kill poison ivy?
It’s the acetic acid found in vinegar that kills the vines. Usually vinegar is around 5% acid – high enough to do the job!
How long does it take vinegar to kill poison ivy?
After spraying with the vinegar, it takes about 2 weeks for the poison ivy vines to die. You may find that you need to spray the vines several ties.
Because there are no chemicals involved, it takes longer and you may need to repeat spraying.
What kills poison ivy the fastest?
Chemicals such as Roundup will kill the vines the fastest. If you don’t mind spraying chemical sprays, it will do the job the quickest. However, not only is the following method chemical free, it will also be a lot cheaper.

How to Dispose of Poison Ivy Safely
Before I let you get to it, I have a few safety tips on how to remove poison ivy and basic weed control.
Always use gloves
First of all, always use gloves when handling poison ivy. As I mentioned before, poison ivy can cause a range of allergic reactions, ranging from a skin irritation to anaphylactic shock.
To prevent this, please wear thick gloves when handling poison ivy. Not everyone is allergic, but even if YOU aren’t, you may touch the plant and then contaminate something that will be touched by someone who IS allergic.
Besides, its better not to test whether you’re allergic, right?
Wear protective clothing
In addition to wearing rubber gloves, you should also wear protective clothing such as boots, shirts with long sleeves and long pants. Long sleeve shirts are a necessity!
That way, you can protect the rest of your skin from coming into direct contact with the poison ivy.
Bag it Up and Throw it Away
Once the poison ivy has died, dig it up as completely as you can (being careful not to let it touch your skin. Try to get as much of the root up as possible so that it can’t grow back.
Place it in a plastic bag, close and tie off the bag, and then dispose of it in the trash.
Wash hands, gloves, and clothing thoroughly
Once you’ve sprayed the poison ivy, be sure to wash your hands, gloves, and clothing thoroughly so that you get rid of any of the oil that makes poison ivy poisonous.
Immediately remove the clothing used and put in the laundry right away. You may need to use some of your spray to clean as the vinegar and degreaser in the detergent can help remove the oil.
Can You Burn Poison Ivy?
Many people burn plants to kill them, but you should NEVER burn a plant that you suspect is poison ivy.
What Happens if you burn Poison Ivy?
It may be tempting but again, never burn poison ivy plants or any plant you think might be a poison ivy vine. Burning can cause the oil that is in the poison ivy plant to take to the air and be inhaled into people’s lungs.
The Bottom Line: Getting rid of Poison Ivy is a task, but it can be done naturally with a little help from vinegar and salt!
Now that you know how to get rid of Poison Ivy plants without using herbicides, you can get started tackling these and other weeds in your garden. Let me know how it works for you in the comments below.

Awesome Poison Ivy Sprays and Tips
You don’t have to buy commercial products to get rid of poison ivy. Make a simple homemade vegetation killer to use on this harmful weed and others that have invaded your property. Our recipes involve basic household products and a little time to get the job done.
Boiling Water to Kill Poison Ivy
Believe it or not, poison ivy cannot withstand boiling water. Fill your kettle with water, let it boil, and then take it outside and pour it at the base of the plant at ground level. The boiling water will burn the roots, and so they won’t be able to function correctly.
You will likely need to do this a couple of times a day for a few days before you see results, but it is a very easy, and one of the most natural ways, to kill poison ivy plants.
Remove Poison Ivy with Brute Force
If you are one of those lucky few who is not allergic to poison ivy, you can always pull the plant out itself. However, if you do choose this method, be sure to get all the way down to the root.
Otherwise, the plant could develop new growth and pop up again or somewhere else. The best way to make sure you get all of the plant’s roots is to dig it up. Sometimes the roots can reach as deep as eight inches.
Smother Poison Ivy
If you’d like to try another approach where you won’t risk adding anything to the soil and messing up the pH levels, you can try and work from the ground up. You can carefully try to smother the plant.
To do this, you could either tie a plastic bag around the leaves of the plant or cover the plant with cardboard. This method will keep the necessary carbon dioxide and sunlight from getting to the plant.
DIY Poison Ivy Killer for Stand-Alone Poison Ivy
If you have a cluster of poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac, you can follow this industrious recipe to kill the plants. Only use this if there are not any plants you want to save nearby, as enough of this could potentially destroy any plant.

Homemade Poison Ivy Killer
- 1 gallon of water
- 3 pounds of salt
- ¼ cup natural dish soap

Pour the salt into the water and stir until fully dissolved. Then, add the dish soap. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray the homemade poison ivy killer onto the leaves of the plants.
The sheer amount of salt in this recipe will not only dehydrate the poison plants but also make it more difficult for the roots to soak up the necessary nutrients.
A Different Kind of Gin and Tonic – the Homemade Poison Oak Killer
If you have some cheap gin that you don’t mind sacrificing, you can use it to deal with your poison plant problem. Here is what you need to make this homemade poison ivy killer.
tb1234
Gin Spray to Kill Poison Oak
- 2 ounces gin
- 1 ounce of apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon liquid dish soap
- 1 quart of water
tb1234
Mix the ingredients and then transfer to a spray bottle. Spray the homemade poison oak killer onto the leaves of the plant. If it doesn’t work by the next day, then respray the leaves.
This homemade poison oak killer can also work on other poison plants and kill weeds if you’re having a problem.
DIY Poison Ivy Killer – Vinegar
If the poisonous plants are growing near your other plants, you’re going to need a new plan of attack. Vinegar, the all-purpose cleaner agent, can help out in the garden as well.
However, you are going to need undiluted white vinegar to achieve the best results and prevent new growth. Pour the white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray the leaves of the plant until they are nearly saturated.
You don’t, however, want to spray the ground as too much vinegar may alter the acidity of the soil and prevent plants from growing successfully in the future. However, vinegar is also an instrumental weed killer and can help you with weed control.
If you’re wondering, “Will vinegar hurt plants?” It all depends on how you use it. Vinegar can do damage if not carefully controlled. However, there are plenty of plant species that thrive in higher acidity soils.
Salt, Vinegar, & Soap = Homemade Poison Ivy Killer
If straight vinegar didn’t work and your plants are near other plants, you may need a little extra help with some salt and liquid dish soap.
tb1234
DIY Poison Ivy Killer
- ½ cup of salt
- 8 cups vinegar
- ½ teaspoon liquid dish soap or liquid detergent
tb1234
Mix vinegar and salt in a pot. Heat to dissolve the salt. Once the salt dissolves, turn off the heat and let it cool. Once the mixture cools, add the liquid dish soap (ex: Dawn). Then, transfer the poison ivy killer into a spray bottle and spray the leaves of the plants.
Because there is less salt in this recipe than in the formula mentioned earlier, it won’t be as potentially harmful to your other plants, but it is still a good idea not thoroughly spray your flower beds.
Poison ivy survives year-round, even in the winter. However, the plant will start causing harm very quickly in early spring, when the sap begins to produce again. This makes the spring and early summer the worst times for those awful itchy rashes.
And don’t forget, when you go out with your homemade poison ivy killer to make quick work of those poison plants, be sure you are wearing long pants and gloves (a plastic bag will also work in a pinch, but make sure there aren’t any holes).
If you do find yourself with the beginnings of a rash, immediately stop what you are doing and go thoroughly wash the infected area with grease-fighting liquid dish soap, like Dawn. The dish soap will work to break down the toxic oils and sap. Follow up with soothing calamine lotion or something similar that works for you.
Whether you are just looking for a weed killer that works or you are in desperate need of a reliable DIY poison ivy killer, we hope these tips and recipes came in handy.
And remember, when you’re working on combating the poison ivy problem in your yard, safety first!

Before the Crisis
Lillian Rose is a successful nerd seduced by Professor Marc LeGrande. Together they steal a vase of rare herbs, after which the professor tries to get rid of the girl by poisoning her. The herbs in the vase give the girl super strength. Thus, the villainess Poison Ivy is born.
Post-Crisis
Pamela Isley grew up in a wealthy family, but is emotionally distant from her parents. Her biology teacher, Jason Woodrue, performs an experiment on her by injecting toxins into her body, as a result of which she almost dies and loses the ability to have children. She spends six months in the hospital, then. .. Learning that the experiment has opened many new possibilities for her, such as the creation of pheromones with the power of thought and the poisonous touch, she goes crazy, goes to Gotham City and threatens to poison the city.
Batman stops her and takes her to Arkham Asylum. Ivy's cellmate becomes Magpie, a quarrelsome crime boss (perhaps later the girls will have a more intimate relationship).
Pamela was a member of third-rate supervillain teams such as the Injustice Gang, the Long Halloween Two-Face team, and the Suicide Squad. She also maintained the world's plant balance with Woodrue, who became the supervillain Floro when the Swamp Thing, her adversary (Alec Holland was also Jason Woodrue's student), was in trouble.
Poison Ivy later teams up with Woodrue again for a scam to sell a huge amount of marijuana in the city, but escapes with the money and sets Batman on Woodrue.
At some point, Ivy escapes from the clinic and settles on a secluded island in the Caribbean. For the first time, she is happy. The island is poisoned by an American corporation, civilians (including Pamela's mistress) and flora and fauna on the island die, and Ivy vows to kill all men who poison nature.
Pamela changed radically during No Man's Land: first she turned green thanks to Catwoman, which started their feud, and then she showed motherly feelings for a group of orphans (especially she fell in love with the girl Rose), which was unusual for such a sociopath. She also found love during this period - Harley Quinn, but she realized that she loved her much later.
During No Man's Land, she also fought for her territory - Robinson Park with Clayface I. Batman helped in the battle, but after Pamela lost interest in Batman.
Ivy was used in their plans by Hush and the Riddler, and Pamela achieved the greatest success of her life: she took control of Superman (Superman). Later, she tried to do this trick with Supergirl, but it did not work for her.
She soon got into Arkham, and tried to escape with the Magpie, but fell into a trap and became possessed by demons, turning into a huge "flycatcher". Etrigan (Etrigan The Demon) disenchanted her.
When the Riddler sought protection from her, she drove him away, still offended by him for the events of "Khash", and even humiliated him morally and physically. Upon learning that her orphans were murdered by two corrupt police officers, she brutally cracked down on them.
Poison Ivy was thought to be dead for a while due to Hush's machinations, but returned a year later when one of her best friends was killed. Her strength increased, but this did not save her when Harvest began to hunt for her - a monster that turned out to be fed by her people (there were "annoyed mistresses", "blunt henchmen" and actors - kidnapped girls - of Pamela's homemade porn ) to a huge plant. Once again, Batman saved her life.
Trickster and Pied Piper tried to hide from Deadshot during the Countdown in Pamela's greenhouse, but she seduced them and threw them into the street. In the same period, she received an invitation from Deathstroke (Deathstroke) to join the Secret Society of Super Villains (Secret Society of Super Villains), but eventually left the team.
The second Black Mask II also tried to use Pamela's talents, but she managed to get rid of her "guardianship". During this same period, she joined her best friend and longtime nemesis to form the Sirens team. When Harley betrayed her and the Cat by returning to the Joker, Poison Ivy ended up in Arkham again. After a short time, she ran away again, forgave Harley, realizing that she loved her, and they went to look for, and then try to kill, Catwoman.
New52
In New52, Poison Ivy, hired by Black Canary, was briefly a member of the Birds of Prey. In the "Rotworld" super event, Eisley was one of the few survivors of a Rot-infested planet and guarded the last evergreen forest (the Swamp Thing managed to save everyone by turning back time and erasing the Rot's takeover of the planet).
During Forever Evil and the Arkham War, Bane broke her spine in his manner, Pamela quickly recovered and became part of the Venom-infused psychopaths that he led against Bane and Penguin (Penguin ) Scarecrow.
After Bane practically ripped her apart during the battle, Poison Ivy was later seen only as a member of the "evil extras".
