I need to get rid of my poison ivy

Posted on April 16, 2006

Question:
I have some baby rouen ducks & I need to get rid of my poison ivy we are alergic to it. I want to know if I weed eat now how long before it will be okay for them to go in the yard? Then what do I need to use on the weeds when they are in the yard?

Answer:
Best to use Vine-X as you use very little and you apply it directly to the stem. Weed eating will just invigorate the plant and strengthen it. Also, The sap from the weed eater throwing it can get on your legs and cause much discomfort. Use "Safer" brand weed killer as it is organic.
