Well, the other neighbors fight them as well, but they can't put up a fence. They just post a warning not to go barefoot in the yard.

I have a viseral HATRED of these things. When I was six, my parents took us to a "dude ranch" in Bandera Texas...when we got there, I leapt out of the car and dashed (barefooted) to our cabin. I got about half-way there and found my feet FULL of deeply embedded sand burs. I stood there howling and my mom kindly told me that "That'll teach ya." After a while, my Dad came and got me and got them out of my feet (you know, they have barbs and hurt worse coming out, if you can believe that is possible.)

When I realized we had that same devil plant in our yard, I just cried. Then, we got to work pulling them.
