How do I get rid of the LARGE poison sumac plants in my yard?
Question:I just found out that these tree things in my yard are NOT black walnut trees like we first thought, but they are poison sumac trees. I need to know how to get rid of them so I can let my kids go out in the yard again. PLEASE HELP!
Answers:
I grew up playing in sumac, so I didn't get poisoned (lucky me). You could burn it, but I wouldn't. Cut it down as low as you can, then get a bottle of "Brush B Gon" by Ortho (local hardware/garden center)
Here's the website of what to do. Good luck!

a good way to get rid of it would be to burn it down but make sure nothing else around it can catch on fire.
DON'T BURN IT!
When burned, inhalation of the smoke causes diarrhea and other internal irritations. I don't think your neighbor hood would like that. lol
I would suggest calling poison control or a local gardening agency...they would be more ...umm can't think of the word so I'll use capable to get rid of it
if not the wear a long sleeved shirt and long pants and boots and like kitchen gloves and dig it out...then you should put it in a large black trashbag then in a paper yard clippings bag and have it pick up on large trash pick-up day and if they don't have that then take it to the dump.
hope I've helped you!
