The Poison Ivy Guy

The Poison Ivy Guy says on its website that it has provided guaranteed poison-ivy eradication in Massachusetts since 2008, treating properties twice and offering retreatment through the next calendar year, and that it also handles Japanese knotweed and other invasive plants. Its BBB profile places the business in Boylston, names James Byler as owner and lists an A+ grade. A 2025 Google reviewer wrote that Wesley came out for a walk-through and gave an assessment at a reasonable price, and that within a week of the first spray the poison ivy was drying and dying. That 2025 reviewer said he also took out bittersweet and invasive bamboo, and came back a month later for a follow-up spray that was part of the original deal. A 2025 customer said a wooded area on their lot had become pine needles and open walking areas between the trees, with no poison ivy, and that they had the company come every year. A 2025 customer said their issue turned out to be small and that they were taught how to treat it without being upsold. A 2024 customer said the treatment lasted about 4-5 years with only extremely minimal return. A 2024 reviewer thanked Will for removing poison ivy from their yard and stone wall. A 2023 customer said Jim picked up right away and gave advice about a large poison ivy vine even though they were not requesting a quote or service. A 2022 customer said they contacted Jim Byler the previous September about poison ivy on their property, reached out again in February, were told he would be in touch in May, and by June had heard nothing, including no reply to an email sent a week earlier. On Google, the business holds a 4.9-star rating from 83 ratings.
