2. We identify the plantWe confirm it is poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac before anything is treated.
3. We confirm the priceFrom the photos or a site visit, before we start.
4. We treat or digSystemic herbicide sprayed on the leaves or painted on cut vines, or hand digging with shovels, forks, loppers and saws. Tree vines are cut near the ground and again about a foot higher, and the lower cut is treated.
5. We bag and haul awayWhat we remove goes out with us in bags. Dead vines still carry the oil, so we pull them from paths, gardens and play areas if you want them gone.
6. We return for regrowthWe usually follow up about a month after the first treatment. Heavy patches can take a season or two to clear.
