How to Kill Poison Ivy: The Rash Comes From Cutting It
UGA: the toxin is not normally on the outside surface of intact leaves and stems. So the dangerous act is breaking the plant — which is what pulling does.

A Roundup-branded bottle that genuinely does contain glyphosate — 18% of it — plus 2% triclopyr, and is therefore non-selective in a way the pure triclopyr bottles are not.
Our Verdict
Worth reviewing partly for what it teaches about the brand. Roundup is a brand name rather than an ingredient, and our catalogue also contains a Roundup-branded bottle with no glyphosate in it at all. This one has 18% glyphosate isopropylamine salt plus 2% triclopyr triethylamine salt, on EPA Reg. 71995-37 — registered as MON 78736 Herbicide, with Roundup Concentrate Poison Ivy Plus Tough Brush Killer among its alternate brand names. Alabama Extension's residential kudzu table lists this product at 6 oz per gallon treating 300 sq ft, and 100% for a cut stump. The two-active combination is a real advantage on a mixed problem — glyphosate handles the grasses and herbaceous weeds around the vine that triclopyr alone leaves standing — and a real disadvantage everywhere else, because it makes the product fully non-selective. On a fence line you are clearing entirely, that is what you want. Near anything you are keeping, the pure triclopyr concentrates are the safer purchase.
✅ Pros
- Genuinely contains glyphosate — 18% — unlike some Roundup-branded bottles, so it also takes the grass
- Alabama Extension's kudzu table gives this product a rate: 6 oz per gallon treating 300 sq ft, 100% for cut stumps
- Two modes of action on one pass, useful where a vine is tangled through grass and weeds
- 4.6 across 875 Amazon ratings — the highest score of the brush concentrates here
⚠️ Cons
- Fully non-selective: the glyphosate removes grass and every broadleaf it touches
- The most expensive of the concentrates here per unit of active
- Fewer ratings than the triclopyr-only bottles, which have four to five thousand each
- Brand confusion is real — check the active ingredient panel, not the word Roundup

What we found when we read it

The Amazon listing carries a subscript numeral for the formulation revision.
