Purple loosestrife highly invasive. I knew it was only a matter of time. Going to need gallons of roundup.

@Nyboy the very first thing you need to do is cut the flowers off before they go to seed and dispose of them by either burning or enclosing in a plastic bag and leave in the sun to cook until you have time to deal with the plants themselves.

Dig it out DON'T use Roundup next to a stream, get those roots out.
We have a small river, more like a stream across the road from our house, there was a whole bank of it here,

Volunteers spent a weekend digging it out, coming back the next year to dig out the stragglers. The third year they found very little if any at all. It's been a few years but it's still free of Purple Loosestrife. Such a pretty plant but so evil. This little stream is a full blown river in the winter, it's also tidal so on full tides it's a flood plain.
