Why Professional Poison Ivy Removal Makes a Difference
Poison ivy isn't just a nuisance—it's a health hazard that can cause severe allergic reactions in 85% of the population. The urushiol oil found in all parts of the plant (leaves, stems, and roots). DIY removal attempts often lead to:
-
Accidental exposure and painful rashes
-
Incomplete removal as roots remain viable
-
Spread of the plants to new areas
-
Potential long-term exposure risks
Our specialized techniques target the entire plant system, ensuring complete eradication without risk to you, your family, or your pets.


The Process
STEP 1:
THE BID
Our expert technicians begin with a detailed property assessment, where we:
- Walk your property with you to identify and flagging all poison ivy locations
- Locate hidden plants that might be missed by untrained eyes
- Assess the severity and age of the infestation
- Identify any other invasive plants requiring treatment
- Provide a detailed, FREE estimate with no obligation

FIRST APPLICATION
Once you approve our customized treatment plan, we begin the eradication process:
- We apply our specialized herbicide treatment targeting only the unwanted plants
- Our precise application techniques minimize impact on desirable vegetation
- We focus on killing the plant at the root level, not just surface foliage
- Results will begin to appear within approximately two week as the root system dies
STEP 3:
