| Just cut the ivy on your side. |

This is a good way to drive yourself crazy. |

Do you spray the leaves or the ground along the fence and hope it seeps through? |

+1. I would cut the ends on your side of the fence and spray the exposed ends with Round-up for Ivy. It should kill several feet of the ivy, back onto your neighbor's side of the fence and prevent the encroachment for a year or so, but you may have to do this again next year because unless you get to the roots, ivy is very invasive and overwhelming to other flora. |

| I second that ivy-brush killer spray. It works. It can take weeks to truly KILL the f uck out of the unwanted brush, but it will. |

| OP here: Thanks for the reco. What is the etiquett here: should we warn them about spraying before we do it. |

| No, it's fine. Just use killing agents on their plant without warning. |

I agree. I'm sure they didn't intend to plant ivy that grows up my fence. |

They weren't maintaining it to begin with. |
