Any advice on how you get rid of sticky buds and prevent them from returning? 

Thanks

    Sadly, I think they are impossible to eradicate, they will probably be the last living plant on earth image

    I only think of Horse Chestnut buds as sticky buds. Perhaps Melissa means Goose grass.

    Horse chestnut for me too, but I'm wondering whether she means burdock burrs?

    I grew up calling it sticky bud because the seeds stick to one's clothing - inspiration for Velcro don't you know!   Most people on here seem to call it goose grass.

    It's dreadful stuff because it just won't go away and, whenever I weed it, I get a nasty rash on any bare skin.

    I have always known Goose grass as sticky bud.

    Perhaps it's a northern thing Pdoc.   Yes Nut, takes ages to heal too.
