Heat and humidity help weeds across the county spring to life and Hamilton County Noxious Weed Supt. Jeremy Brandt shared what to be on the lookout for and how to handle unwanted plants.

In Hamilton County these include: Canada thistle, musk thistle, leafy spurge, plumeless thistle, spotted knapweed, diffuse knapweed, purple loosestrife, saltcedar, phragmites, Japanese knotweed, giant knotweed and sericea lespedeza.
