Poison ivy? help identify?
It looks like pictures two and four could both possibly be poison ivy. You can go poison-ivy.org and compare photos and get more info. Poison Ivy always has three leaves and is not symetrical. Whatever you do, don't cut it out with a chainsaw, mower or weedeater. I'm still paying for that mistake! You'll need to use poison ivy killer and let it work for at least 24-48 hours to kill the roots, then in biohazard fashion, remove the dead top growth. The uroshoil (sp?) of anything it touches (including pet hair) can remain active for a year or longer.
Reply:looks like 1242 1245 is.
Reply:# 2 and #4 are poison ivy. There's some in #1 too. #3 and #5 are something else.
Reply:Leaves of three, let it be.
Reply:Two of them are, the second one and the fourth one. You can get sprays to kill them. Once they are dead, just leave them there and if you want to burn them, don't, that will screw you eyes and nose up pretty bad.





You might do yourself a favor when spraying them and put about a teaspoon of liquid dishwashing detergent - like Palmolive, to cut through a wax that would be on the strongest leaves. That will allow the spray to work better.
