Additional Giant Hogweed Information: e Donot touch Hogweed, dead or alive, with your bare skin. Before approaching it, read the Giant Hogweed Control Methods Guide, especially the section titled Public Health Hazards & Safety Instructions. Copies are available from your crew or at https://dec.ny.gov/nature/animals-fish-plants/plants/harmful-plants/giant-hogweed. e Controlled (killed) plants are left to decompose where the work was performed and, especially at large sites, some plants may survive control efforts. Be mindful of this when you are in or around those parts of your property. e Crews may not have controlled flowering plants other than by removing their seed heads. This is because once a Giant Hogweed plant produces seed, it dies (root and all) later that year. e If herbicide was applied, do not enter the sprayed area for at least 24 hours. If pesticide signs were placed onsite, do not remove the signs for at least 24 hours. Each sign shows the date and time of application. e Ifa property access form accompanies this letter, complete the form and return it in the pre-addressed envelope. e Asite needs to be monitored for 3 consecutive years, without finding plants, before it is considered eradicated. e The following statement only pertains to small sites. If possible, visit the site repeatedly over the coming months and report any flowering plants.
