There's a little old lady who lives a few doors down from us?
Question:She is having problems with the neighbours next door who refuse to remove Ivy growing on her side of the house. She asks if there is some kind of a solution she can paint on her house to prevent the ivy from growing there.
Answers:
I'm not sure it would do her any good to spray weed killer because the next rain would wash it away. The only thing you can do is pull it at the root then put the kill all weed killer on the ground where it grows. The problem with this is it will kill everything including grass.... Good Luck!
Unfortunately, ivy grows on just about everything.
However, a midnight trip to the base of the ivy with some pruning shears will certainly slow it down.
ivy is a buggar to get rid of the little old lady wouldnt be able to do it herself, hope you sort it out
Tell the Granny to purchase some RoundUp and squirt that on the ivy. Ivy on a house will do major damage!
She should paint Roundup poison ivy remover on the tips of the neighbour´s ivy, and then it definitely will not be growing on her walls anymore.
FEEL SORRY FOR THE OLD LADY,well its not nice but here goes,some diesel oil will sort that out,midnight trip por round the roots,it will go black,die and shrivel to nothing,
HOPE THIS HELPS..
Spray the side of her home with Lysol. It works and if the Ivy is that big of a deal to the neighbors...tell them can't we work something out to show respect to our neighbors?.Also put an arch or tomato (fan-shaped) gate fencing on the area by the ivy..it will grow up that instead- it will grow whichever way you train it to grow.
well..if it's her house, she has the right to take it off the side of her house!! i wouldn't even have asked them...
Legally, she is entitled to cut down anything which is growing on her side of the house. In fact she is legally entitled to chop a branch of a tree off if it is growing into her garden (but the trunk is in the neighbours garden) and throw the branch over the fence for the owners of it to dispose of.
She shouldn't kill the plant however, that could be classed as criminal damage, but she's able to prune and cut any part of the plant which encroaches on her property.
Maybe you can help her with this?
Would this be a Duplex ( house ) ? Or a condo ??
If she is renting - call the owners...
On the other hand if she is buying it - she can handle the situation herself. Good neighbor talks all always Preferred.
But if they are resistant - you own what is on your side;
of the fence ( so to speak ) and can deal with it as you
see fit. within the law of course..
Agree that she can remove it without their permission - so long as she gives it back to them!
Also, if the ivy is causing a nuisance then there is a legal solution as well. A swift solicitors letter to the neighbour telling him that the ivy is not wanted should do the trick. Make sure he's aware that any damage caused to the house, either from the ivy or the removal of it, will be made good by the neighbour. Cover your back at all times!
Ivy is quite easy to pull off walls. Why not help this lady and pull it off her walls for her.You are legally allowed to remove any plants etc. that infringe on your property as long as you give ant cuttings to the people the plant etc. belongs to.
