  • Poison hemlock help

    Question

    What to do if I find poison hemlock? Should I contact anyone to investigate or remove?

    Naturalist's Response

    Poison hemlock should be handled very carefully with gloves. No, there is no need to notify any agencies about poison hemlock because it occurs in all counties in Ohio. Rather, the best thing to do is usually to put Roundup on it and be very, very careful when disposing of it, always wearing gloves because it is toxic.
