My parents' yard was covered in ivy... after I spent 3 days making no real progress in manually pulling the weeds my parents called some Mexicans =P
A single guy showed up with a spray bottle full of gasoline. He spent a couple hours spraying all the leaves. Within a week, 10 years of ivy growth was dead.
Is it environmentally safe? Not entirely. But the petrol only goes where you spray it, and a diligent user could spend some time picking up all the dead plants covered in residue. Also, being realistic, a spray bottle full of gas is the equivelant of a drive to the corner market and back, and if you don't feel guilty about that, then don't feel guilty about this.
