Eradication Guide

Kudzu has claimed seven million acres of land in the Southeastern United States and is currently consuming 120,000 acres per year.

Consequences

Kudzu can spread one foot per day, killing everything in its path. Kudzu infested land becomes unusable. Natural habitats that support bio-diversity, wildlife, recreational use and natural beauty are lost and community pride can suffer as a result.

False Perceptions

Often nothing is done to confront kudzu’s rapid spread and destruction, simply because of a false perception that kudzu can’t be killed.

Reality
Kudzu-Free Communities wants you to know kudzu can be killed. And the sooner it is, the sooner the kudzu damaged woodlands and tree buffers of our communities can be restored.

"In Georgia, the legend says
That you must close your windows
At night to keep it out of the house.
The glass is tinged with green, even so..."

From the poem "Kudzu"
