Poison Ivy Prevention: Fels Naptha Soap has been used for over 100 years for the treatment and prevention of poison ivy, sumac and oak rash. If you think you have been exposed to poison ivy, oak or sumac, shower immediaetly with Fels Naptha to remove the resin from your skin. This will greatly reduce and in most cases, prevent any skin reaction to the poison ivy oil.

Poison Ivy resin can stay on your clothes for over 1 year even if the clothes have been washed with normal detergent.

"I grew up in Palmer, Ak in the 1950's. One day, Mother carried a pan of soap and water and threw it in the garden. I went later to see what the garden looked like. The bugs were moving around the garden except where she through the soap water. The bugs wouldn't go near it. That's why I use Fels-Naptha soap instead of costly bug deterrents." Mr. Cole, Lake Wood, Washington

1 tbsp. vegetable oil

1 tbsp. dishwashing liquid

Add these ingredients to a gallon of water and mix well. When you're applying the mixture, make sure you continue to agitate the mixture as you spray so that all these ingredients remain mixed. This homemade fungicide works both as a preventive and as a control. Even though this mixture has been tested on all kinds of plants--ornamental, vegetables and just about everything--you will still want to take the time to test it on a small leaf surface on the plant that you are trying to control the fungus on.
