Why do you want to get rid of it? Slender spikerush rarely ever grows deeper than 16" and as far as I know never gets taller than 16"-20". FL may have a strain that grows taller and it could be another species of spikerush. One species usu gets only 5-6"" tall. Spikerush forms a dense shoreline root zone to stabilize the sediment along the shoreline to keep it from eroding and getting muddy. Spike rush that grows in the water creates very good habitat and cover for small fish, esp fry. Slender spikerush rarely causes any sort of problem. A lot more positives about it than negatives.
