Again, you would smother more than the pest plant.

Infestations only occur because a living species finds an environment that it can exploit. The population then expands to fill that niche, and when exponential growth reaches a tipping point the population collapses, another species or community moves in and the process starts all over again. Human beings should be only too aware of this because that is exactly what we do as a species. As far as most other species of living things go we ARE that pest species.

Can we invent a machine to sort that challenge out? Heavens no, we just eradicate other life forms instead.
