Ground ivy loves shady regions, often first gaining a foothold in areas of your yard where the grass is thin due to shady conditions. This means you’ll often find ground ivy at the base of trees or on the shady side of your house.

Daniel has been using various weed killers for years, at home and through his work. He also has years of experience in the roofing industry, where he used BAC50 to remove and prevent moss from the tiles. Here in the UK, English Ivy is native and may not be as invasive as it is in other countries, but it can still exhibit invasive behavior under certain conditions and in specific environments. First, let me point out that NUMEROUS national and international agencies have reviewed Glyphosate and the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) is the only one to conclude the chemical is “probably carcinogenic”. And that only happened in the press release. I made a video of these tests if you prefer watching rather than reading – I’m not much of a video editor though I have to say: What weed killers made the test this time?

He then explained that we had recently just had a particularly dry spell for the last few weeks, and that the weeds would be reacting to drought and this can make them less likely to absorb the weed killer. Therefore, giving them a light watering for a day or two before applying the weed killer should help. Note: The presence of ivy often indicates a tree in ill health, infected with honey fungus for example. This should be investigated. If you are concerned about an old or diseased tree, always seek professional advice from an arboriculturist or tree surgeon.The Lance press release (you’d have to register an account to access it): https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(15)70134-8/abstract

Apply thoroughly, cover the entire ivy plant. Avoid spraying the leaves of other plants you intend to keep.

Using a weed torch to kill ivy is generally not recommended due to the risk of fire and damage to surrounding vegetation. Additionally, ivy's waxy leaves can make it resistant to heat, making this method less effective in killing the plant.
