As far as I can see, one flake of duckweed rapidly becomes thousands. It's
terrible stuff for spreading.

We're stumped then, because we could only clear it when we are in
France, which is three or four times a year.

I see the problem has even made it to today's Grauniad. But they have
nothing much to say and no easy solution either:

so perhaps this will be my chance to gather up any that blows into a corner.
