How do you eliminate spiderwort?
Cutting to the ground (after removing spent blossoms and once leaves decline) before solarizing and tilling prefatory to replanting with drought-tolerant covers or vegetation is a way to eliminate spiderwort. The (usually purple) flowering plant in question (Tradescantia spp) requires a moist soil so diverting rainfall and monitoring irrigation to dry the patch out will stress spiderwort, as will repeated harvesting for edible, salad-ready foliage. It will be important on the way to eradication to remove all spent blooms immediately since spiderwort seeds prolifically.

The other is that what may happen from human contact with the plant's leaves is a fleeting irritation or itchiness of the skin of a susceptible person.
