Poison Ivy

Hi, 1. I'd like to find some free booklets with pictures of Poison Ivy.

2. I'm very allergic to this plant and the wind blown oils are enough to get me. A neighbor has lots of plants just past the fence line. He's not interested in spraying. Is there any other way his P.I. can be controlled-legally?

Hi Sam, I too am allergic but not quite as susceptible as you. check out this website for pix. I'm not aware of a booklet but check websites of state department of natural resources, surely one of them would have a booklet. Also chcek with your local public works office for city ordinances. many cities have specific guidelines for these problems. good luck, sandy
