I think I know the answer to this but putting it out there just in case. Is there any solution to this that doesn’t involve ripping it all out or spraying with herbicide? We need to be careful of kids and pets and it’s covering hilled area. Also, I know this might not be pachysandra but I don’t know what it’s called. TIA..

Yeah you are going to have to nuke the whole bed. And then destroy the dead vine/roots because they still have the nastiness in them dead, dried up . If you burn do not stand downwind
Lost cause. IMO spray with glyphosate, no other herbicide. It’s safe to work around after 24h, and degrades after about 2 weeks. After it degrades, the dead plants will keep the nutrients and soil structure in place, and plant into it after the 2 week period. Ripping it up will cause a lot of erosion on the hill. Wear gloves and sleeves though, and give yourself a good scrub with dish soap after planting. Poison ivy oil can last for a long time.

No. Nuke it. No other option- especially the poison ivy. Good luck. Wear your PPE
Solarization
You’ve more than P. terminalis and Toxicodendron radicans in there.
