Noxious weeds are plants listed by the state or county as a menace to public welfare.

Most noxious weeds have been introduced into an ecosystem by ignorance or accident. Some noxious weeds are native. Typically, they are plants that grow aggressively, multiply quickly and display adverse effects through contact or ingestion.

Noxious weeds often drain soil of its nutrients and excess supply leaving native species to die out.
