Hi Elliot, I found an article that is pretty interesting. http://www.ways2gogreenblog.com/2009/09/03/be-forewarned-about-the-datura-inoxia-devils-trumpet-flower/It doesn't talk about getting rid of it, but If It were in my yard, I would used gloves and a little shovel to get the roots.Good luck!Helpful Reply -

Hello Elliot, I recommend pouring boiling water on it then shake salt on it. A lot of salt. This method will kill any plant. Hope this helps.Helpful Reply -

I don't think you have to be too worried. Just wash your hands with soap and water after you touched the plant. It does appear to be a devil's trumpet. You should be able to pull it up with gloves on, but if you're concerned you should get a professional to remove it. (landscaper?) You could take a sample to your local county agent for accurate identification and proper means of disposal.I think the main danger with devil's trumpets is when it is literally eaten. But you never know when a child or animal might ingest some of it, so I guess you're better safe than sorry.Helpful Reply -

Devil's trumpet. Just dig it out and dispose. Only harmful if ingested. If you have kids and / or pets, yes I would remove, this plant is tint, won't take much to remove. If you want to kill quickly, pour vinegar on it while in the sun, will die quickly.Helpful Reply -

My Angel's Trumpet is orange - and quite weedy. However, if you spray it repeatedly, per instructions, with a good grass and brush killer, you will kill it all off eventually.Helpful Reply -

There is a plant in the desert (Yucca Valley) that resembles a lily but they are really poisonous when digested. I suggest that you did it up as soon as possible and bag and throw them away in order to prevent any consumption by children or aminals. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Helpful Reply -
