Treating Ivy

Recommended Posts

I've been asked by a customer to treat Ivy which is growing in the mortar of a very old brick and flint wall. Stems from the ground have been cut but this has not fixed the problem. The ivy is just growing from the wall now.

 

We have been advised by our suppliers that SBK and glyphosate would be ineffective whilst the sap is flowing. Has anybody got any advice on how to tackle the problem please? The wall itself is fairly unstable so manually doing this is out of the question.

 

I've looked on several websites but the information is a bit hit and miss. Any help from the experts please? :)

 

Thankyou

Hello,

 

I had same problem on a old farmhouse here in France. I used total herbicide on it and it killed it all. Think it was Roundup Pro I used.

 

Afterwards when it had died and fell off I gave another application and it never came back.

 

Cheers chris

A customer of mine put one of the spray-on liquids in little plastic bags and the clipped the bags around attached leaves. He claimed it worked just fine.

There must have been a hundred little bags.

 

Two problems were, you need the patience of a saint and the garden looks like a dog walkers route by a footpath where nobody uses the shite-bins.
