It was sitting on the east side of the property for a few years somewhat choked off then the heavy summer rains we had pushed it over to the west (good) side of the property.

Its the devil, but seems like Casey is a man on a mission

I am going to do my best....

From what I understand while both are bad, common is not as thick or aggressive, is that true? At least I started on this before there was no water showing.

I know miami corp is using weevils in all their marshes now. Havent heard how good they work though

Sup Noodle! You alive man?

lmao gotta spread them damn weevils!

Yeah brady i'm making it. Just trying to get by until duck season. You been doing alright?

Haha sammich knows about them weevils. Lmao had to have been there.

Casey is that in your marsh south of Klondike?

Common is 'better' to have than giant yes. And by you getting on top of this early you have a much better chance of controlling it than most people. Also, you doing it yourself has a better chance of controlling it, and you also have the ability to drain which is the best thing. Not saying that LDWF doesn't do a good job spraying, they surely do..but when its on your own private place you have a little more at stake than they do. Giant salvinia is what is on Lake Bistineau in the NW part of the state. You can read up on what it has done to Lake Bistineau, its bad

Yep next to you guys, obviously I am not happy about it.

Every now and then we seem to get a little bit in our canals, but it seems to come and go. I haven't been in that marsh in 2 years, has it always been a problem in there? Doesn't seem like i remember seeing any in there. Is it covering the entire marsh? I hope you find a way to get rid of it. Best of luck. I think your blind will be on fire this year, pray for some good cold fronts and freezes up north.

The pond doctor sold us something called Sonar. It killed it and never came back. That crap was so thick you could throw a rock out there and it would not even sink through the top layer. Its expensive and you have to ride around spraying it under water. It takes 3-4 weeks to kill it. Attacks from the root up, turns it pink, then brown, then it starts to sink and disappears for good. It has been 3 years and it has yet to come back.

Good Luck.

Man, that is excellent. Have not heard of anything working that well on Salvina

Did a quick search and found this thread. One guy says vegetable oil will kill it,

Noodle, when you headed back over there? I'm gonna try to get there Sunday afternoon. That salvania is a *****. It serves no purpose for wildlife!

Wonder if it really works? I read the thread and it seems it might. That's a significantly cheaper way to go.

Try some on an area and see what it does.

Going to look a little further into the vegetable oil thing, got plenty of places to test it out:eek::)

I might be out there at some point this weekend. I need to spray and cut my trails. Holla of yall ever need anything we right around the corner
