"I saw 'invasive species' and my first thought was kudzu. Then I figured out what you were looking for. "

Kudzu is indeed an invasive species of plant. That, along with privet hedge is trying to take over Georgia.
Fire ants have already got a strong take-over foothold established.

Mention kudzu in the West and they sort of give you that "what is this guy talking about?" look. They come south and soon discover.

Being in Western Canada, I'm one that has no clue re; Kudzu.

I've heard that they grow kudzu in the NW as an annual!!!

Here's a link to a picture of kudzu. Sorry I don't know how to make it clickable.

The New Zeland snail. It has a hard shell so the normal predators that eat snails here cannot eat them. And they will weaken levees.

We live on a lake and pay a "Milfoil" tax - $88 for each homeowner to have the lake treated with selective herbicides. If we didn't do that - the lake would be unusable due to the stinking, rotten mats of weeds floating on the surface.

Sadly - the "visitors" who bring their infected boats to our lake....don't have to pay for the cleanup of THEIR mess.
