Invasive Heartleaf Philodendron, Ferns, Poison Ivy: Bulldozer or Concentrated Roundup

Your Louisiana backyard jungle (Heartleaf Philodendron, ferns, giant poison ivy) has no central root—Roundup fails.

Realistic Options

• Concentrated Roundup (less dilution than label).
• County extension office for tropical weed strategies.
• Bulldozer (joking... mostly).

Why It's Hard

Philodendron scandens spreads vegetatively. No "mother plant" to kill. Persistent, multi-year effort needed.
