I'm desperately looking for a service to remove the poison ivy vines that are clinging to my fence. We have killed the leaves and cut off the roots, but as ivy is apt to do, it's still on the fence. Thanks!

Use Roundup on it. Buy the big gallon sprayer at Lowes and do it yourself!

We have use much round up on it. It is 99% dead, save for a few shoots we continue to kill with more round up. The challenge is that once it's dead, the branches are stubbornly stuck to the wooden fence and remain. We need someone to manually remove them from the fence and the surrounding area.

Buy cheap leather gloves and pruning shears and then wear long sleeves. After you are done, you can throw the gloves and shirt in the trash with the dead vines.
