The municipality of Houten also receives questions and comments from residents about the grass awns, or creepers. “The creeper is often found in places where dogs urinate and do their business, such as at posts, lampposts and walls,” writes a spokesperson. The municipality says it mows the creeper away as much as possible, but that this is not possible everywhere. The plant also grows back quickly.
