When I spray poison ivy with bleach I wait until the leaves start crinkleing up (see photo). On hot days it only takes a few hours. Be advised that some people may start jumping on your case and mine about using bleach in the garden .. bad for the ground etc. but what these know-it-alls apparently don't know is that bleach becomes inert once it dries and unless you pour a bucket of pure bleach on the ground it will not alter the Ph. of the soil.
