Diquat is the best bet, won't kill any plants unless it is in direct contact with them, it's fairly strong stuff so be careful if you have desirable plants nearby. It will go dormant in winter but don't expect it to not come back, Fluridone is anothe

Rick: I know you're down South. I don't know what your water temps are like in the winter. Usually the pellet feeding for warm water fish stop once water temps hit 60°F. If yours gets that cool, they will switch over to the forage fish for the time

JHAP might offer to come and captain your boat, but he has a tendency to daydream and ram into bridge supports. I think you should come up with a different title than Captain though. Tenille Fuzzy C. Everett Koop (if you can get him to shave above
