some generic 41% glyphosate mixed at a 3% solution along with some 2,4-d LV amine mixed at 2% (both per gallon) should knock the snot out of it if you spot spray. if you have alot of grasses that you want to keep (which i doubt) then just use the 2,4-d.

If the vines are big (1"+)and climbing into the canopy, then just cut the vine at the base and apply cut-stump treatment of non-diluted 41% glyphosate immediately to the stump. If they are new, young sprouts or vines, then follow psandu's advice. If you can get some Roundup Advance Brush Killer (glyphosate+triclopyr) from wal-mart and follow the label -- that will do the trick as well.

RE: Poison Ivy...!!!!!
If legal in your state, you might check the labels of productscontaining triclopyr, tebuthiuron, or hexazinone. Triclopyr would be your best bet if you have beneficial plants near the treatment area, as the other two are VERY broad spectrum and will kill sterilize the treatment area. Not a problem if it is grass, but it is hard on trees.

This is a topically applied foliar spray that won't hurt surrounding plants:
Weed-Aside weed killer
The salts in it dessicate the leaves suppressing growth . For a more permanent solution you'll have to either catch the ivy earlier in the year and apply a herbicide designed for vining plants or remove the vines manually .
