Another method of control available is the use of controlled burns, however there are risks associated with this method. Principally, "C. monilifera" has higher moisture levels than many Australian indigenous species and therefore in Australia a higher than normal intensity fire is required for burns to be effective. This can in turn have detrimental impacts on indigenous vegetation evolved in response to more frequent, lower intensity fire. Furthermore, fire can trigger regermination from the extensive "C. monilifera" seed bank, potentially worsening the situation unless a program is implemented to monitor and control "C. monilifera" seedlings following the burn. If "C. monilifera" seedlings are removed, however, this can be extremely effective at exhausting the seed bank and minimising the chances of reinfestation.
