I claim:
1. A method of destroying aquatic weeds in water which comprises contacting the weeds with an herbicidally-effective amount of a compound of the formula ##STR3## wherein R is C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.7 cycloalkyl, benzyl or phenethyl
R.sup.1 is methyl or ethyl;
R.sup.2 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl; and
n is 0, 1 or 2.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the herbicidally-effective compound is of the formula ##STR4## wherein R is C.sub.4 -C.sub.8 alkyl;
R.sup.1 is methyl;
R.sup.2 is hydrogen or methyl; and
n is 0 or 2.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the herbicidally-effective compound is of the formula ##STR5## wherein R is C.sub.6 -C.sub.8 alkyl;
R.sup.1 is methyl;
R.sup.2 is hydrogen or methyl; and
n is 0 or 2.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the active compound is 1-(5-hexylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-1,3-dimethylurea.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the active compound is 1,1,3-trimethyl-3-(5-octylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)urea.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the active compound is 1,3-dimethyl-1-(5-octylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)urea.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the active compound is 1-(5-hexylsulfonyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-1,3-dimethylurea.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein the herbicidally-effective amount of the active compound is from 0.5 to about 10 ppm.
