Douglas County Weed Control

The noxious weeds of Douglas County are a paradox. When in bloom, in multiples or individually, they’re lovely, adding exquisite color to the landscape. But behind their beauty is a naturally aggressive intention to take over whatever territory in which they find themselves. By definition, every weed on the noxious weed list is non-native, even if the plants have been seen locally for generations, allowing these outsider plants to pass as insiders.
Noxious weeds’ seeds are even hardier than their plant parents, surviving 10 to 100 years under the harshest conditions. Even though Douglas County has worked on Douglas county weed control for more than 20 years, seeds blown in and out of crevices and cracks ensure the survival of each plant on the list.

The Douglas County Road System’s efforts to prevent, eradicate, contain and suppress noxious weeds is focused on 13,000 acres of county open space and county right of ways and along county roads. The county encourages private property owners to voluntarily manage noxious weeds on their properties which will assist in overall Douglas county weed control.
As autumn approaches some noxious weeds get closer to going to seed, which makes mowing and hand pulling less than ideal forms of weed control, but the perfect way to sow bad seeds. Some plants’ seeds are so tiny it’s almost impossible to see that they’re being sown through manual removal methods. For this reason, the Douglas County Road System only uses a spray-eradication method for Douglas county weed control.
