Is ground clear just for poison ivy??

I have some tree type weeds that keep coming back every year.. I have sprayed them many times but they keep growing..

I need to find something to kill them off once and for all..

They are to close to the house so I can't burn them out..

No Don I use it for poison ivy but it is a total vegetation killer. I buy it by the gallon. Im lucky with I only apply it once a year sometimes I dont have to but the vines and all are coming back from the neighbors yard again so time to spray.

I might have to try that.. Maybe I can finally get rid of it..

I have used a couple of other things and even tried stronger than recommended..

It kills it, but still grows back..

the ortho groundclear works pretty good don. We used it at the cemetary all the time. We had plants in there where we would have to pour a whole gallon of concentrated groundclear on them to get rid of them. other than that one plant it would take care of pretty much anything we sprayed it on when mixed as directed.

I would don.especially if there are other plants or grass in the area that you want to keep. The ortho ground clear does exactly what its name implies it clears the ground of everything. I also use it to clear along the vegetable garden as needed.

No worries there Shaun..

I would spray it all over the yard so I wouldn't have to cut the grass if I could..
