Be sure to pull the roots up carefully, they'll be long and lead off in many different directions. Then be sure to wash all of the clothes you were wearing through a hot cycle in the washer.

I have had to throw away a jacket before that the oil wouldn't wash off of. I couldn't figure out why the patch I had on my wrist kept getting worse and worse. Stopped wearing the jacket and solved that mystery. I washed it 2x then wore it, and got PI again in the same spot. Jacket went straight to the garbage. No thanks!

Round Up is great, but only if you want to kill the PI and everything else around it. The Ortho Poison Ivy killer that I mentioned earlier is better IMO, in that it only kills the ivys.
