Poison Oak

Question

How can I remove poison oak plants out of my shrubberies without harming myself or my shrubberies?

Answer 1

If you're looking to get rid of poison ivy (or oak), treat with herbicide first (to kill the roots) then, wearing gloves, hand pull dead plant material and dispose of it. Do not burn it, however, as the poison can be breathed in and will result in a nasty rash.
