I have applied a super strong solution of glyphosate weed killer numerous times with no success. Exposed vegetation dies off but quickly regrows. Please advise on a solution.
Glyphosate alone does not always control wandering Jew/Spiderwort/tradescantia because it can reroot easily if any plant fragments are left in the area. We would recommend a product that contains triclopyr such as Monterey Spurge Power for more complete kill on this plant. Cultural practices such as removing all plant litter and bringing native plants into the area to better compete will also help to eradicate this plant.
