poison plants are out of control

Living GA, its been raining every freaking evening and planning to for another week. Anyhoo, my backyard is fertilizing a boat load of poisonous plants growing out control and my landscape won't spray until next week.
Anyone else having this problem? I saw TNET discussion about Snakes in SC.

IIRC, it's like roundup. After a couple hours the stuff dries on the leaves and it doesn't matter about rain, sprinklers, etc.

non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, to be more precise. Exposure increases your risk of this non-curable disease by 41%. The FDA has argued otherwise, so yes, there is controversy here.

Quote: "Several chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity studies have shown no effects or findings of non-carcinogenicity, leading the EPA to classify it as a Group E oncogen (not carcinogenic in adequate studies)."
Quote from Penn State Extension Service: "Glyphosate has lower acute toxicity to humans than 94% of all herbicides1 and many common household chemicals, including vinegar and table salt. Glyphosate also has lower chronic toxicity to humans than 90% of all herbicides1."
Yes, like all agricultural chemicals, you should be careful when using it and comply with the label. A man in California won something like a 80 million dollar lawsuit, in spite of no scientific evidence that Round-up caused his cancer. The lawsuit, if I remember was because Monsanto failed to put on it's warning label that it might cause forms of cancer (which there was no proof that it didi).
I also found this quote: "While the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified it as "probably carcinogenic to humans" (Group 2A) in 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has concluded that it is "not likely to be carcinogenic to humans"."
So that's definitive .... it is .... or it isn't!

You need a brush killer and add a surfactant to make it stick. Remedy or crossbow are the best. Remedy is a pasture chemical but works great on brush. Roundup does good on grass and weeds but not so good on brush and small trees.

I've doen it before, had weeds the size of saplings. threw a tarp over them until they died. It is the lazy man's way of getting it done.

regular soap doesn’t cut the Urishiol oil in those plants that causes the irritation. Regular soap will only spread the oil to other body parts.

Can't beat crossbow. I like it better than round-up. Also, less expensive. Tractor supply used to carry it. May still carry it.

Fire burn is fine! Not sure your acreage but small doesnt require permit just watch humidty and wind, follow guidelines. A lot of plainsman are going back to Native ways when the Indians fixed land with prescribed fires to benefit all, animals and humans.

Don’t use dishwasher detergent it can actually interfere with the chemical but do get a surfactant

CROSSBOW will kill all the poisonous plants and not kill your grass. We use it to kill Poison Oak at our mountain place and weeds at the Clemson place.

If it’s a woody plant like poison ivy you can spray it now and will probably knock the leaves off but you won’t kill it. Find something with triclopyr in it and spray it in mid to late September. That will actually kill it. Here’s the hard part. You need to let it grow and not mow it until you spray it. Much better kill waiting.

Don’t buy Roundup but get generic glyphosate. Much cheaper. Also attorney friend of mine familiar with roundup law suit says attorney knew there was nothing wrong with the chemical, just looking for a lawsuit to make money.
