Thanks for the reply Betsy. It seems like and endless battle from what I hear, but the competitor in me says i want to win. Im getting a puppy soon and plans for a baby in the next few years, my wife gets PI really bad and and I dont want to live in fear of this plant. When i moved here the house has been vacant for over a year so its pretty much everywhere, the spots i attempted to battle were at the front and back entrances. I did pretty good but i broke out alot on my forearms. I guess my mistake was not taping my sleeves to the gloves cause it appears to have gotten right up the sleeve. Whats your prepartion for pulling, have you used IVY BLOCK and does it work.

Also whats best to do with conaminated gear tools etc, Last time I just threw away the clothes but my boots are still sitting untouched!!

Still deciding what to do about bobcat though i think for the two spots by entrances i may bobcat out about 4inches deep and then fill with clean fill and landscape nicely, and use your method for the perimiter evil oops I mean ivy.

Good luck and thanks! The battle begins
