I know this is probably beating a dead horse here but I'm in the same boat with cattails. In an effort to save some expense and try to stay away from chemicals I've been pulling the vicous little buggers by hand. I was counting them but after hours and hours and a few adult beverages I lost count...I've had enough blisters and I'm ready to spray them. Will Cutrine with a surfactant work on them?
Also, after they die what is the best thing to do with the remaining dead vegetation. Sorry if I highjacked your post coach...
