Poison Oak / Poison Ivy Control

4 minute read

Remember: 6 Plus 6 Plus 1. Use 6 oz Remuda® plus 6 oz Monterey Brush & Vine Control per 1 gallon of water.

Always read labels prior to use: Potential damage to desirable plants can occur if not properly applied.

Poison Oak and Poison Ivy are becoming more of a problem in many areas of the U.S. Due to an extensive root system, they become very hard to control. We have tested over-the-counter combinations and found that the most effective is a tank mix of glyphosate and triclopyr (the active ingredients in Remuda® and Monterey Brush & Vine Control). Application of this mix to the active growing foliage from spring to late fall does an excellent job of controlling these pests. The addition of a surfactant such as Herbicide Helper also aids in the control. Fall application before leaf drop appears to be a little more effective than an early spring application. Regrowth the following year may be seen, but spot-treating regrowth is relatively easy. Be sure to thoroughly wet the poison oak or ivy, and do not get on desirable plants.
