Where in St. Louis? I haven't seen it or at least I haven't noticed it. And along I-70????

The Department of Conservation is way behind if that is all of the areas they know about.

It looks like the last time the locations on the web page was updated was in 2010 - or before.

I haven't seen too many severe infestations in Missouri, but it can completely overrun stands of trees and even fields.

I think the city of Knoxville used goats to control it with some success. It is also possible to convert it into ethanol but you don't get as much as you would think per acre.

I believe that MO was one of the states that imported it in to stabilize road banks and feed hogs.
