This Noxious Weed List contains information about Idaho’s noxious weeds. Just click on the name of a weed you want to learn more about. You will be given the best control methods available to manage that weed. Idahoans can contact their County Weed Control Superintendent or a Private Applicator for technical assistance in dealing with the control and management of noxious weeds.

PLEASE NOTE – The proper use and application of herbicides can be an effective way to control and eradicate noxious and invasive plants. Before using herbicides, always carefully follow the label and safety instructions on the label. While we recommend the use of herbicides as one of the effective tools for integrated pest management, the Idaho Weed Awareness Campaign assumes no liability for herbicide application.
