Poison Ivy

Do trees and bushes in your yard look like they are being smothered by some other plant? It may be poison ivy. When I first bought my current home that was how my property looked. So, naturally, I went out there with my gloves and pruning shears, and proceeded in doing what I could to clean up the situation. It turned out much of what I was cutting was poison ivy. Thankfully, it was early enough in the year that it wasn't active. So if you have this type of work, do it now.
