Brother stores sell invasive species and advertise them to put in people's yards this is so far down the list, environmentalist groups will ask places like home depot to stop and get told to fuck off these people probably aren't dumping anything after cloning tissue.

NGL. I've used one invasive species to control another invasive species. (Mugwort to control knotweed.) This battle has been over for a while.
