Poison Oak Removal

•••••Poison Oak presents the worst environmental hazard to homeowners here in the foothills. The chemical in poison oak, urushiol, remains active on any surface for up to 5 years including dead plant material. YOUR property, however, can be entirely FREE of poison oak. We do NOT cut it at the surface or use harmful and dangerous chemicals! If you want poison oak permanently removed, there is only one method...PULL IT OUT BY HAND FROM THE ROOTS!!!

Poison oak grows hidden on the forest floor as a vine which will survive chemical treatment and mechanical cutting. It simply has to be pulled up from the roots. I have cleared some of the worst disaster areas of poison oak. Some properties have a little here and there, and some properties have poison oak covering every square inch! Children can't play in the yard, OR WORSE, pets go out into it and after getting it all over their fur bring it INTO the home. There is a solution to the itch, there is an answer to reclaim your property.


Please note that Poison Oak Removal is a service that I do not provide during the summer months. I wear a full body bio-hazard suit when removing poison oak to protect myself and minimize my exposure to the plant, and cannot do so when it is extremely hot outside during the summer months. Additionally, poison oak roots are more pliable during the "rainy" months of the year and the ground is softer, so the process of removing it is much more efficient from November through April. I can still meet with you and discuss your options for removal at any time, but if it comes to removing large amounts, I need cooler weather to operate at peak efficiency.
