North Carolina at a glance
- Spraying for pay
- State licence, renewed yearly
- North Carolina requires anyone in the business of applying pesticides to hold a licence, checkable with NCDA&CS.
- Burning
- Never burn poison ivy
- The smoke is as toxic as the plant, and state law bars burning yard waste where public pickup exists.
- Poison oak and sumac
- Mainly the coastal plain
- Both are rare in the Piedmont, so most poison oak inland is poison ivy with lobed leaves.
- Frost-free season
- 201 to 247 days
- The season is shortest in the mountains and longest on the coast.

Questions people ask first
Do You Remove Poison Ivy From Homes and Commercial Properties?
Yes, we remove poison ivy from home yards, rental properties, schools, parks, and commercial grounds. Let us know the property type and roughly how big the area is.
Do You Also Remove Poison Oak and Poison Sumac?
Yes, we remove poison oak and poison sumac the same way we remove poison ivy.
Do You Service My Area?
Yes, in most cases. Send us your address and we'll confirm.
When Is the Best Time of Year to Remove Poison Ivy?
Late spring through early fall, while the leaves are fully out and the plant is growing. Cut vine treatments work slightly better in late summer and fall.
Can You Remove Poison Ivy in the Winter?
Yes, we can cut and dig vines in winter, but herbicides don't work well on dormant plants, so we usually come back in spring. Bare winter vines still carry the oil.
How Soon Can You Come Out?
Usually within a week, and small patches can sometimes be treated at the estimate visit. Spring and early summer book up fastest, so contact us early in the season.
What Information Do You Need When I Contact You?
We need the address, photos of the plants, roughly how big the patch is, and where it grows, such as a lawn, fence, shrub bed, or tree. Mention any gardens, ponds, or wells nearby.
Can You Identify Whether It's Really Poison Ivy?
Yes, we identify the plant before treating it. Virginia creeper and box elder seedlings are often mistaken for poison ivy, but creeper has five leaflets instead of three.
