Biologically, burning, chemically, manually, and mechanically are ways to control loosestrife. The plant in question has a reputation for extreme aggressiveness and invasiveness even though it may be eliminated merely by effective hand-pulling early on in a small patch. It otherwise responds to a concerted schedule of controlled burning, regular spraying, and severe pruning within one or two years and to organic treatments of manual or mechanical removal (of which bulldozing is the most extreme option) and natural predator introductions, such as of leaf-eating beetles (Galerucella spp).
