Our Mission
Antidote was born out of a simple frustration: most poison oak removal relies on herbicides that don't actually work. They burn back what's visible above ground, but the root survives, and the plant comes right back. We set out to do it differently.
We remove poison oak entirely by hand, root and all. No chemical sprays, no herbicides, no toxic runoff into your soil or watershed. It's more labor-intensive than reaching for a bottle, but it's the only approach that clears the problem for good and leaves the land around it genuinely unharmed.
We believe that caring for your property shouldn't come at the expense of the ecosystem it sits in. The East Bay's hillsides, waterways, and native habitats matter to us, and every job we take on reflects that.
