Poison Ivy

[Saw Man]

Have Poison Ivy growing up/around trees, and infesting Honey Suckle which border my property lines.

Can easily cut out the stuff growing up the trees, but don't want to damage/disturb the Honey Suckle.

Any suggestions as to how to stop/kill it are appreciated.

You can take a sharp axe and cut a "frill" low on the thick poison ivy vines. Cut downward on an angle like you were making the furry ivy bark look like a half-peeled banana.

You are not really trying to simply sever the vine, but make a cup to hold herbicide that the plant can take-up as it is killed.

Then paint or spray full strength glyphosate into the frill cut.

Of course wear goggles and cover up.
