So Art,
Inform local County agricultural specialist for tracking purposes.
Spray it early spring, a week later go out at Night, remove all flowers carefully and bag for later burning, cut the rest down and put it in bags marked “HAZARD” somewhere to dry, burn your hazmat suit and go in shower in under low light, avoid sunlight for a few days! Dispose of the dry product at some local biohazard site along with all your accumulated dryed poison ivy!
Is that about right??
“Is that about right??”
Not quite..
The local agricultural specialist already knew it was in the area so wasn’t interested in my sob story.
I never saw the plant. Must have been small, immature with no flowering head.
It certainly wasn’t the obvious 14’ behemoth. That wouldn’t come down with a weed whacker and would need a brush axe.
Just learning to move slower in my work and wear good protection. The rain gear seems to work but have to watch out for overheating when the days warm up.
