I have this very intrusive vine in my garden area....?

The vine itself is a reddish color and the leaves look heart-shaped. Is this poison ivy? If not, then what could it be? It's taking over everything and I want to get rid of it - or at least control it. But I don't want to touch it unless I know what it is. Can anyone help?

You could blow it up with a grenade.
Reply:Can you provide more information (a picture/link would be most excellent!)? Is it a woody vine or more herbaceous? Are the edges of the leaves serrated or smooth? How big are the leaves? And so on, and so on.





In the meantime, I was taught as a child that "Leaves of three, let it be," meaning that if the leaves are in sets of three on the end of the stem, it's most likely poisonous.





Hope this helps.

this is what Poison Ivy Looks like.


Poison Oak looks like this

Heart shaped leaves are probably Wild Morning Glorys

Spray them with weed killer or pull them. Wear gloves for safety.
Reply:I am not sure what area you are in; Florida or the south it sounds like Kudzu or morning glory, but granny had it right.


Spray the leaves and foliage with a non selective herbicide like round up or weed be gone. That should take care of it.
