there are giant hogweed maps?
I guess like poison Ivy and Oak.. this is one thing you do NOT want to kill with fire?

Amazing. Horrible, invasive exotic that is not in Florida! Is it possible the plant cannot handle our heat?

It seems that the best way to control this threat might just be GIANT HOGS!

It's allergic to our pythons!

Holy hell. Yea, I'll stay away from anything that looks like a gigantic mutant dandelion plant from now on.

Hogweed from the north, pythons and armadillos from the south... jeez. What's a South Carolinian to do?
Ah, I know. The cow ants will take care of these minor things for us.

what the hell is a cow ant?

We always called them "cow killer" ants; i.e. those things that hurt so bad you think their venom could kill a cow. They are actually wingless wasps.

aka "cow killer" or "velvet ant." It is essentially a wingless wasp. I hear that it hurts like hell when it stings you.

According to that one map, there is no hogweed in Niskayuna(sp).

[giggle] Now I'm envisioning an unsanctioned, underground fighting league where plant enthusiasts bring the two species together in an octagon - surrounded by grow lights, naturally - to find out which will prevail in combat. I can't be the only one who wants to see this

After reflecting on the above comments, it becomes obvious that we DON'T have giant hogweed plants in GA because we DO have giant hogs. I'll take that trade.
