Rid of them: You may need the help of a professional gardening service to get rid of the ivy on your yard or lawn. Avoidance is the best answer. Be sure to wash off anything which has had contact with the ivy with a detergent solution.

See below: This issue is more suitable for horticulture than medicine. You may consult the site given below for chemical destruction of the plant. It may be prudent to hire a yard management service to carry out the task rather than risking contact with the plant. http://extension.missouri.edu/p/G4880
