To give my take on the last part. no. time and time again we've seen that the foolish idea of solving an invasive species problem by adding more non-natives has had devastating, unintentional consequences; cane toads released to eat cane beetles in Australia for instance became one of the worst pests in the region, eating other native life and poisoning predators that tried to eat them. Gambusia fish released in california to eat invasive mosquitoes also became invasive themselves, gorging on native insects and amphibian larvae too.
The only real, responsible solution in my opinion is manual removal, but since that takes lots of time, funding and effort, the idea of setting loose yet another potential problem species to solve it for us is what seems to get the most priority. Manmade issues require manmade solutions, and the everglades can be restored only by removing the invaders ourselves.

Bob's Burgers addressed this the best way.
Old lady: We got everything in Florida. Pythons, panthers, predatory stink bugs.
Louise: Yup, that's everything!

When I saw the title, I imagined something like from macbeth, with the trees descending on the cities.
It wasn't what I got, but I'm not disappointed: D

I think the best way to fight it, is killing them animals, skinning them for produce, treats for pets. The trees in my opinion is turn them to charcoal

Why turn the everglades into farmland when we have tons of land to spare that is only cut off due to zoning? Zoning has always been such a curse.

I just love the everglades. It's a shame what has happened to it. Being reduced to its current state. I would've loved to see it back then.

To protect indigenous species, we make it illegal to keep them as pets. Hence the exotic pet trade, which leads us to this situation.

I recently binge watching a guy who hunts invasive species in Everglade. When I saw this thumbnail I thought he is an animator now.

I suggest that the researchers don't fight fire with fire. The Everglades invasive species problem is already bad enough.
