How do I kill Elephant Ears?
Question:Parts of my yard are taken over...It's getting crazy..I dig them up, they come back. Any solutions? Or is this something I am going to have to deal with and mow over?
Answers:
You can't unless you dig up the entire root, blulb and all.. If you leave even a piece of root in the ground it will regrow.
So unless you have a lot of time on your hands, just keep mowing.
have to get the whole root system when you dig, go out a foot or more, and as deep as you find tendrils
Roundup.
Dig the bulb out.
Or, get ORTHO brush and weed killer and try that. That might just work, but you need to get to the bulb.
Spray them with Round-up.
i just planted some elephant ear bulbs...now im scared should i dig them up while i still can?
Mow them over or use herbicides.
put a sign in your yard FREE ELEPHANT EARS and let them dig em up i wish i had your problem
spray the base with round up and then dig up by roots and spray the hole
You lift up their flaps and then yell really loud into the ear. (I just needed the points.)
The digging up part is about the only thing that I found works, you just have to make sure to get all the little bulblets.Risky suggestion .. try total vegetation killer and reseed the lawn after 4 weeks?! Try not to water the area ,also
