Please don't spread the roseau-killing scale

I know most of you have heard of the exotic pest that has killed large areas of roseau cane in the MS River delta area:
LINK
Yesterday, I was forwarded the following letter regarding rumblings about people moving this pest to address roseau control in SW LA:
Dear XXX,
There is an exotic scale attacking roseau cane in Plaquemines Parish. From phone calls and duck hunting blogs, I understand hunters are bouncing the idea of moving plants infested from Venice to duck leases in Southwest Louisiana. The LSU AgCenter will not recommend such action; basically, we don?t know if this scale attacks only roseau cane. This population of the scale could be a pest of crops including sugarcane, rice, sorghum, and other wetland grasses. We will be conducting trials to see what other grass species at risk from this exotic scale.
Can you please distribute this message among your constituents?
Thanks,

Hold on, so these idiots are trying to spread this bug or are wanting roseau at their lease and inadvertently transferring it?

Only a coonass would consider taking something that's killing the marsh and using it to build a better duck pond...

Sidenote: Larry, how can I request all of the historical waterfowl surveys in excel format?

Well why don't you just saddle up and go on down there to save the world then ya idiot?

why would you want to kill roseau? We used to build blinds out of that stuff. I figured, if anything, there wouldn't be enough of it.

Not looking good. That area will be devastated if we get a storm.

Sad thing is the state or its agencies have no money to fix. By the time we beg some federal agency for money to help fix which will likely have to be studied first we will have nothing left.
Damn I hope I'm wrong

Odd thought here...
in the marshes that I hunt, Roseau only really grows on the solid ground...wouldn't be any ducks there anyway.

Flew over Venice yesterday, its bad.

Thats what holds the solid ground together
Maybe something else will come in and fill it's place but Roseau is one of the first to colonize an area
