I am having trouble eradicating it too. It is everywhere and intertwined among trees, bushes, grass. Some applications of the same product work one time and not the next. Best when its really hot and humid and its in high growth mode. Seems when its stagnant the spray fails to kill it.
I am highly allergic to it but have found methods to keep from getting contaminated. Spray my ankles and wrist areas generously with olive oil. Leather work boots, heavy socks pulled out over overall legs. Hooded sweatshirt, poke thumb holes right above cuffs at end of sleeves. With thumbs thru these holes wrists stay covered. Do not pull out Poison Ivy, Oak, Sumac. The oil from its roots is 100 to 10l00 times more toxic then the unbroken leaves.
Zanfel does work to remove it from skin the first day. By the second day it it will have penetrated the surface and it binds with the protein in your skin. That is why the more leather you cover yourself with the better. It binds with the leather and does not spread. The oil on nylon or cotton clothing actual spreads in the wash. More then once i have gotten a lite case of it all over my torso because I washed all my work clothes included skivvies together! Pete
