0 views

Permanently killing ivy requires a combination of cutting and herbicide application. Begin by cutting the ivy at its roots, making sure to remove as much root material as possible. Follow up with an application of a glyphosate-based herbicide directly to the cuts, which helps to ensure the weed is killed down to the roots. Monitor the area for regrowth and reapply herbicide if necessary. Consistency and persistence are key to permanent removal.
