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.

Is small-leaf spiderwort poisonous or toxic to animals or humans?

No, small-leaf spiderwort [Tradescantia fluminensis] isn't poisonous or toxic to animals. The answer isn't so definite in regard to humans. In fact, only one of two things can be said at this point regarding humans. One is that any possible poisonousness or toxicity is low. 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. That's a general reaction that any spiderwort [Tradescantiaspp] may bring about in humans, not in animals.Any poisonousness or toxicity of the plant thus far is unknown. Any such indications are at best slight. What looks suspicious in terms of a spiderwort possibly being poisonous or toxic are the plant's oxalate crystals.
