Our acre lot got a "poison ivy invasion" after a major cutting of trees that opened the forest floor to sunlight.
I got a bad case of poison ivy, and my Mom "retaliated" by doing what you suggest here.
The forest canopy has since grown back to shade us again, but
no poison ivy has been seen on this acre for 50 years!
But "just to make sure", I sprayed some suspicious "leaflets-three" a few years ago.
.... They turned out to be dozens of flowering—"Jack-in-the-Pulpits"....
