You want a systemic weedkiller. Anything containing Glyphosate will do the job. Spray the regrowth with it on a calm day. It will kill anything green. Follow the instructions on the pack carefully. Making it stronger will not make it work better. You may need to spray a couple of times, three weeks apart for nasties like bindweed.
I use Rosate36 which is for agricultural use but available on Amaz.. It's still gylphosphate but far, far stronger than the likes of Roundup. It's the only thing I've found that kills Ivy.
If you decide to use it the dilution rate is 30ml Rosate36 to 1litre water. The booklet that comes with it is heavily biased toward farm use and describes usage in litres per hectare.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
I did buy from Amazon and that was about what I paid. It'll last years.
It's also sold on ebay - 1 litre is £10.79 which will make up about 35 litres of full strength weedkiller. When you spray, DON'T use a mist spray setting or it'll blow around and kill other plants, set the spray so you get something like fine rain. Also use it on a calm day. This stuff is for use on fields so be careful with it. If you want to kill Ivy, spray 3 times leaving about 2 weeks between sprayings, then leave it for 3-4 weeks and you'll see it's all completely dead.

That works out at over £57. I'd want the bloke to come and do it for that. I suppose it works out cheaper in the long run though. I'm sure the R*u*d*p concentrate isn't much less than that. I'll investigate some more...
Mike Allen says: "... the chemical. Glysophate. [...] The chemical is great but. For whatever reason, the strength available to the general public is so weak, it has about the same potency as one...peeing on a plant. Sorry but to me. Glysophate as sold to the public is.......money down the drain."
Excellent news, at least if it's that weak it's less dangerous.

Hi pete8. I can't find that product on that particular website and the first of their sponsored links wants to charge me £22.95 P&P!
Any chance you could send me a link to your supplier please?
