      Gently pull long runners from surrounding native vegetation, being careful to not break at rooted nodes; mound together in a pile and spray entire pile and any rooted nodes. Mounding is time consuming. Spraying is fast and effective. Retreament necessary for any rooted nodes that were missed.
