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:

Once you approve our customized treatment plan, we begin the eradication process:
- We apply our specialized herbicide treatment targeting only the unwanted plants
