Phragmites Control

Phragmites, also known as the common reed, is a large perrenial grass typically found in temperate and tropical regions. Phragmites were at one point considered an invasive and exotic species in North America, however, recent evidence has shown that the plants are actually native.

Phragmites can sometimes be difficult to control. We recommend first trying the Open Water kit sprayed directly onto the plants. The Open Water kit is absorbed into the plants and kills the roots. Other control methods such as cutting the plants will typically not be effective as the roots are left intact.
