wild ivy problem

go right to the very base and cut it at ground level.job done though being wild it must of got there somehow so just keep your eye out for new growth and do the same.getting it of your house or wall id leave it to die back a bit .it will get more brittle.depends how long you can look at dead ivy on your wall realy.i hope i helped

Cut out a 2ft. high strip from ground level upwards. Leave the top to die back, it will be a mess for some time, but left to dry and die is better than pulling it off and damaging your wall. NP is right, find the top of the big roots at ground level, drill out a half inch hole and fill with rid-a-root. Plug the top of the hole with putty.

sounds like a plan

hope your fealing better doc
