I would also advise AGAINST burning any part of the plant, as the oils that are caustic can be inhaled and land you in the ER or WORSE!

We used the "Poison Ivy Killer" spray and it did take a few applications, but it is gone and has not shown signs of reappearing.

another plant you will also want to watch out for and be careful around is "Queen Ann's Lace". It is a weed that can grow up to 6' in height, with a large flat white flower that looks like an old lady's doily.
The sap of this plant is as toxic as poison ivy, oak and sumac!

A few years back we had a large specimen growing in our side yard, and we decided to pull it up. For the next week or so we developed a nasty rash and we were trying to figure out where we came across poison ivy in our yard (since we had already killed it off). After doing some research, I discovered the plant's secret and now I know to avoid it at all costs!

For me a sponge mop and a wash bucket with roundup works well. Just dip the sponge in the bucket and take your time applying the stuff

It will kill a tree if you make multiple applications within
the drip line.
If you have plants that are accesible you can take a heavy mil
plastic bag put it over your arm go to the root, pull it out then
pull the bag back over the vine and throw it away. Dress so there
is no skin exposed wash your clothes as soon as your finished
put Tech Nu on any exposed areas and take a shower.
No guarantee you won't get it, but it's always worked for me
and I'm super allergic with scars.

Like Rav says, the birds will drop the berries where you've
never had it before.
