Spread can be controlled by containerizing the plant. This plant is a strong grower and is good for erosion control, large riparian areas, and containers. The stems are used by various cultures for tying and weaving for cordage, small bags, mats, baskets, and fish traps. Early growth has been used to feed cattle and horses. and has also been eaten by humans (earliest sprouts). In Europe, the pith of Juncus effusus used to be soaked in grease to create rushlights, inexpensive substitutes for candles. Has been used medicinally.
