Concentrated sulfuric acid applied to each stem every three weeks during growth, or spraying arsenate of soda at one pound per twenty gallons of water can kill large areas. Cutting plants mid‑summer before multiple applications helps. Straw set along fences and burning repeated until growth subsides. Wear gloves and work upwind with a long-handled pitchfork.
