Poison ivy pic from Wikipedia 300x225 Homemade Poison Ivy and Weed Killer That Really Works I had a huge poison ivy patch that I fought for years with all kinds of herbicides, including homemade organics. I experimented with recipes using vinegar and salt in varying proportions. Some of them almost did the trick. I finally found that straight vinegar (no water added) with lots of salt and a hefty dose of detergent is most lethal to poison ivy and other noxious weeds. The once-huge poison ivy patch has been gone for over two years now. I’ve had to zap a few survivors now and then, but they are manageable. This homemade spray works better than anything else I’ve tried. 3 cups vinegar 1/2 cup salt 1 tablespoon liquid detergent or soap(I use Dawn) for stick-to-itiveness. Mix vinegar and salt until the salt is completely dissolved. Stir in liquid detergent, and pour into a sprayer. Spray onto the green growing leaves of the plants. Wait a week, then repeat on any survivors. Best time to apply: during a dry spell. Do not spray on plants you want to keep
