Asked May 11, 2022, 2:20 PM EDT

Hello I have a garden full of squill. Never Planted it - but have it. Someone told me to contact you to get help in how to get rid of it. I have some buckthorn I have been working on as well... Lynnette Hawkinson Plymouth MN <personal data hidden>

Wow that is an extensive patch!  As you have found it can be very invasive.  Mow it as soon as it is done flowering and before it sets seed to prevent further seeding. Because it is a bulb, it can also be dug up.  See:  https://extension.umn.edu/identify-invasive-species/squill
