| 1134756 | 2010-09-05 02:38:00 | My neighbor has this crawling plant on his fence, but it is getting out of control and it's all over my fence as well. Any idea how to get rid of the ones on my side? Apart from doing it manually by hand? www.imagef1.net.nz www.imagef1.net.nz Anyone knows what is this plant called? |

| 1134758 | 2010-09-05 03:06:00 | Looks like an ivy to me. If it is growing on your side just cut it off at the base and treat stem with Roundup. If it is growing on your neighbours side you will have to attack your side with secateurs and pull it off the fence by hand. Should come off quite easily. | Richard (739) | ||

| 1134760 | 2010-09-05 03:18:00 | Roundup or similar should do. Roundup does not kill ivy. I have tried several times, up to 3x strength. Have also used a woody plant herbicide (as recommended by a long-serving Mitre 10 employee), again at 3x strength. The best that happens is for new growth to be stunted and a few mature leaves to turn a bit yellow. I have even tried bleach but still does not kill ivy. If no one on PF1 knows for sure, I will email Yates customer service. There is probably some heavy duty herbicide at a farmers supply shop such as Farmlands or RD1, but I wonder how safe it would be to handle and if it would only come in 5L containers? |

| 1134762 | 2010-09-05 03:48:00 | Glysophate works. You need to spray the Ivy then two weeks later cut the Ivy and apply with a paint brush to the cut stems. Be aware it can take some time like a year or two to die off completely. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1134763 | 2010-09-05 03:51:00 | All the pages the google come up with is roundup, but you have to damage the leaves so the weed killer agent gets in, or remove the leaves, and attack directly on the roots, you will need to do this over a few years they say and you need a wetting agent in the killer mix, (dishwash liquid will help). or pour / paint straight on it. nothing else suggested.... its horrid stuff, and some people are allergic to the sap and it creates a nasty rash which is itchy as, and ends up like excema. :( good luck, in my years of garden knowlegde its perserverance is the key, and dont leave any snippits of it anywhere, burn it or wheel bin it, do not compost it..... cut it back hard and spray it regularly, every time you see new growth, cut it back and spray. good luck, beetle |

You need to scorch the leaves and do it a couple of times a year and you'll have success with abating it and it's crawling over your fence. lh6.ggpht.com |
