Can anyone help please?
I have masses of ivy that keeps encroaching on my garden. There used to be
some commercial products to kill ivy but I understand they are no longer
available. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can kill it- or at the
very best give it a severe headache to discourage it?

I too have an ivy problem and the only thing I've found that works is
blackberry/tree poison. From memory the active ingredient is TRICLOPYR but
anything tough enough to kill a tree would also kill ivy.

You have to plan the murder of ivy like a war though, a single battle isn't
enough. I've been trying to kill a humungeous plot of ivy for years and I
have it on the run but still have a huge lot to get rid of.
