For the last 3 years, I've been battling poison ivy in my flower beds, not a lot, but enough to break me out! I've sprayed, cut off and sprayed, used bleach and many other remedies but every year it comes back. Any tried and true remedies out there? Thanks

Did you try pulling it out ? The brown stems usually grow on top of or just under the ground. If you pull it out by hand, the best time is probably late fall or very early spring, and wear gloves . Be sure to get every part of the plant, including the roots or it will regenerate. Throw it all in the trash . Just make sure you don't try to burn it. When you're finished, wash everything, including yourself, thoroughly (wash your clothes separately from your other laundry)

Good Luck,
