Did you ever get one of the authors to respond? I have the same problem, been using small airboat and spray tank. It’s constant work because they double so quickly.

My grandmother used to send us out to the bayou to grab these and bring them back for her koi pond to filter the water.

Find someone local with an ultralight plane that sprays.
Those weevils don’t work fast enough and it’ll cost you too much time and money to do it yourself.
Aerial assault is the only answer.

Only herbicide that works is Galleon SC. doesnt take a lot but it's very expensive. The LDWF started using it but stopped due to cost. Not in a generic version yet.
