    Elephant ears! The plant, not Chew's lease.

    How can I get rid of this spawn of the devil! My wife wanted one 20 years ago when we had a trailer house. No the trailer is gone and this stuff is enveloping our house! I can mow it or spray it but it keeps coming back worse than before.
    HELP!

        You have to get the bulbs out of the ground. Just like a Century Plant, you have to kill the roots. I am still finding sprouts of the century plant I dug up two years ago..

            I bet it you over fertilize the area they would die..

              I'd try Racoon Chow soaked in Golden Malrin. I heard that stuff is like armageden on all things living! Outside of that, pull up the bulbs. Up here in the "north", we can kill them with wet soil and a hard freeze! freezing them turns the bulbs to mush.

                    Sounds deadly to all animals, too.

                      Unfortunately, the sardonicism mode was disabled in my post, so the referential humor was cloaked. I don't actually condone the the use of either. Monkey Chow is completely harmless and GM is completely indiscriminate. Liquid nitrogen is definitely the way to go. Barring that, I would use 25kg of thermite.

                        LOL. Sorry! I didn't mean to ruin your sarcasm. I've seen so much lately on other sites that was not sarcasm that my mind is fried. I gotcha'.

                            I was afraid to open this thread thinking it may be something that showed up on the underwear thread

                              Gasoline always seems to kill plants very well.
