Unfortunately there is not an herbicide available that would remove the poison ivy from around blue rug juniper that would not also potentially harm it. The best thing for this area is wear gloves and carefully hand pull the poison ivy or you can carefully spot treat with a glyphosate based product such as Gly Pho-Sel Pro 41% with Surfactant, avoiding contact with as much of the juniper as you can.
