If you are trying to get it out of the ground, say its growing aside your house, your best way to kill it would be to pour gasoline on it and just let it soak into the soil, but it may kill any plants next to it. There is also some poison ivy killers, but they actually aren't as effective as gasoline.
If you are trying to get it off of your skin, there is really no way to completely just stop it. but you could try 'Ivy Dry' its a spray on liquid that you spray on the infected areas, and just leave it alone. But be aware it may burn and sting if you scratched open the boils from the poison ivy. It's also best to combine this with an anti-itch agent but if not, it works too.
Hope this helped.
Combine baking soda and vinegar and rub it on the rash. Or (BeatlesFan1999's answer) if it is a big rash, do that. If it is small like just on the palm of your hand, buy jumbo band-aids from Rite Aid, put some tooth paste on the soft part, rub it around on the soft part so it covers it, than place it on your hand. I did this with a bug bite & surprisingly, if you repeat the process for a few days or so, it heals and it doesn't itch.
There are specially formulated soaps that will wash off urushiol (the oily substance in poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac, that causes a skin reaction in many people). Brand names include Tecnu and Zanfel.
If you don't have those special soaps, use whatever soap you have available, but it is very important to use COLD water, because hot or even warm water can spread the oil over a larger area of your skin.
If it is really bad, you can usually put steroid cream on it from CVS or somewhere like that.
How do you get rid of poison ivy
What can I put on poison
I don’t know?
NOT TOO MANY YEARS AGO, doctors as well as the public in general believed that poison ivy could be spread from oozing sores on the skin caused by poison ivy., we now KNOW that this is NOT true. The only way for poison ivy to spread is from the ORIGIONAL oils from the ivy plant that remains on the skin or the clothing. Once the oils are cleaned away from the skin or clothing, the only way to spread poison ivy is to come in contact with fresh oil from the plant.
No, you will not get poison ivy.

Poison Ivy has no boyfriend.
You can tell if you have poison ivy by the rash. You will start to see the rash 12- 48 hrs after being exposed. The rash is usually a straight line from where the plant hit you but can be more spread out if you where exposed by clothing, your pet, smoke, ect.
No, poison ivy cannot be spread from person to person.The rash that appears after being exposed to poison ivy is your body trying to fight off the oils that are deep inside your skin. No oils will be on the rashes nor when oozing begins will it be able to spread from person to person.The only possible way is if the person got poison ivy on a pare of clothing, and didn't wash them. Then another person took that pare of clothing and wore it.Poison ivy oils can get on every thing from tools to clothing even animals and can stay on them for a year or more. So make sure you wash anything that you think has come in contact with poison ivy.
Anyone can get Poison Ivy if you are allergic to it.
