I was just noticing the toadflax, both the yellow sort (which I call butter-and-eggs, but which I discovered last year is also known as toadflax) and the purple sort.
Using a predator or--what do we call it when it's a plant that's being predated... eaten? Well, anyway, using a species to control another species like this is never going to be 100 percent successful for the very reason you mention. But maybe the idea is just to reduce the population? ... I didn't realize toadflax was such a pest. I always just thought of it as a pretty wildflower. What does it get in the way of/ outcompete?
