BioAdvanced Brush Killer Plus, Ready-to-Use, 1.3 Gal – Kills Tough Brush Roots & All, Kills Poison Ivy (Pack of 2)

Does the job. Got rid of the poison ivy and other vines.

Works great but takes time to work. Used it on a huge blue berry patch took about 2 weeks for everything to die. But everything did die.

Last year I applied it as a diluted foliar spray to a small test area on vines that were choking trees on my property at it did good initially but leaves returned. Another area I cut the vines above my head and again as close to ground level as possible and used an adjustable squeeze bottle to slowly dribble undiluted product within a few minutes of making the ground level cut to the open stem/root area. Making two cuts would reduce the chance of new sprouts easily "jumping" the large gap. No new growth formed from the treated stumps so I am proceeding with the two cuts/stump application for the bottom of my property in the Spring and again in the Fall. Although a lot more labor intensive, bi-annual foliar spraying will not kill the crowns for a very long time I imagine, if ever. Species dependent of course, and also depends on how established the invasive is.

Was looking for something to kill poison ivy and hard to kill brush. The attached spray hose made the job easy and brush sprayed showed signs of dying in just a couple days. There weren't any strong smells and was able to kill brush without having to get into it. Highly recommend this good quality product. Safe for animals when dry

I bought 2 - 1.3gallon jugs. Used one the same day I received them. It was easy to use and the battery operated nozzle sprayer was actually pretty handy to use, and can be used on other similar containers if needed. Didn't have any issues with leaking from the cap or sprayer.However, I bought these specifically to attack the poison ivy infesting the perimeter of my yard. As I stated before, I used an entire container on the poison ivy and other weedy overgrowth. 24 hours later I checked where I applied it. Most of the unwanted weeds are dead/dying, but much of the poison ivy and small sprouts appear to be virtually untouched, save for a few tiny brown spots.Overall this product didn't hold up compared to more expensive products and I will likely have to use the other jug and start again.

I am not a fan of using herbicides or pesticides, but when it comes to nasty invasive plants it's a challenge controlling them only by weeding. Invasive Asian bittersweet is a big menace around here, and this concentrate can be mixed to an appropriate concentration. For 1" and wider stumps, this 8.8% Brush Killer Plus triclopyr concentrate can be painted on just after cutting the plant. Bittersweet rarely gets that big, but full strength stump painting works for other invasive plants such buckthorn, multiflora rose, barberrry, etc.For bittersweet, I follow a method recommended by extension services, which is to cut it back earlier in the season, and then wait until ~August - September to carefully spray the new growth. Late in the season is when plants are sending more of their sun-produced sugars to their roots, so the herbicide kill is more effective then earlier in the season. I also mix a 1-2% solution (4.5 units of water to each unit of concentrate yields 1.6%), which is stronger than the 0.8% solution found in the ready-to-use version. But you may find the standard dilution to 0.8% effective. Compared to the also-popular glyphosate herbicide, trichlopyr is "selective" in that it does not injure grasses as glyphosate does. But triclhpyr is somewhat more persistent (doesn't break down) in soils.This Brush Killer Plus Concentrate is water-based, low odor, and easy to mix in garden sprayer. I make sure to wear protective clothing- Tyvek suit, old boots, heavy duty water gloves, and eye protection. Important to spray on a relatively calm day with no rain expected in the near future.Great to see areas that were once infested in 95% bittersweet showing a variety of native plants the next season. That is the ultimate goal: native plants that are good pollinators for insects and other animals.

July 6: I initially received the product quickly but it did not include the wand (which I paid extra for). I reached out to customer service and received a prompt reply, apologizing and saying they would send this out to me. Instead of sending it quickly, they sent it via USPS (apparently). After a week, I reached out asking where it was and was told I would need to give it a full 7-10 days. Today is the 11th business day and nothing. I wrote back and was told they will send me another one. I assume it will take another 7-10 business days before I see if they actually send it.They are fast to respond, but very slow to deliver. I would suggest going elsewhere for this product or any others they sell.This is, in my opinion, very bad "customer service". If they wanted to keep me as a customer, they would have rectified their mistake by overnighting or at the least, 2 day delivery of the part they forgot to include! I paid extra for the part - I should have the part and not wait weeks upon weeks to get it. Never again with this company.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I've used BioAdvanced Brush Killer for several years. It works and it works well! It's not instant, but it will kill anything you want gone and I have rarely needed to reapply. It eradicated poison ivy from my yard as well as VA Creeper and other offensive weeds and vines. It killed off a tree which was just a stump but kept regrowing for years - This product finally killed it off! This year I have a new section of my yard that needs cleaning up and I ordered the 1.3-gallon size because it comes with the battery-operated wand (easier on my hands). It arrived in a couple of days, as promised, but without the wand. I contacted customer service and they replied the next business day and promised to send me the wand - in 7 -10 days. A little disappointed that I received the product in 2 days, but it will take a week or more to receive the missing part - but honestly - this stuff works so well that I'll wait! I highly recommend this product!

Its the only thing that kills some of my weeds
