We had them get started in our sewage lagoon. I finally got some chemical, can't recall the name except it cost over $100 for a gallon, that was supposed to kill them without killing the bacteria in the lagoon.
I tried it and it worked. That winter when the lagoon was frozen over, I soaked them in diesel with a hand sprayer and burnt all above the ice. The next spring, I made a grappler about 8' long and 3' wide with four teeth about a foot long with a chain hooked to the end.
I'd throw the grapple into the water beyond what was left of the cat tails, hook the chain to the loader on my H, back up and pull the roots out. Some of them had tap roots 6' long. That finally took care of them and, knock on wood, haven't had any since.
They're almost impossible to get rid of once they get started, and if they get started in a sewage lagoon they suck all the water out of the lagoon so you have to add water all the time.
