Not really, and the waxy leaves of ivy repel most herbicides.
Standard removal from trees:
"First remove ivy from trees and then remove ivy from the ground. If you don't remove it from the ground, it will just grow back up on the trees.
trees - Depending on the thickness of the vines, use either loppers or a pruning saw to cut through each vine at shoulder height and at ankle height. Be careful not to wound the bark of the tree when cutting the ivy vines. Strip the ivy away from the tree between the two cuts (some vines may be so big that you will need to pry them away from the tree). Be careful not to damage the bark.
Next start pulling up as much ivy as possible and as deep as possible around the base of the tree. Keep extending the pulled area around the base of the tree until the pulled area is at least six feet from the tree's base all the way around"
Or when you sever the ivy's main stem, immediately paint weed killer (Blackberry and Brush Killer) on the cut surface of the stub that remains in the ground.
Whatever your method of removal, you will need to remain alert and deal with "leftovers" as they show up. This is your new hobby for the next several years.
