The App will allow you to send photographs directly to us so that we can contact you and provide expert advice on your problem.

Once identi�ed, treatment and eradication of the plant is highly recommended.

Treatment OptionsStem InjectionUsing a specialist tool designed to inject a measured amount of herbicide directly into the target species, this process is by far the most cost e�ective, ecologically sensitive and timely method of treatment. It allows treatment to be successfully completed on Japanese knotweed in one growing season.

Traditional foliar applicationUsing knapsack sprayers or mounted spraying equipment this method applies a mix of herbicide to the leaves of the plant. The herbicide is absorbed through the leaves and translocated through the plant and down to the root system.

Excavation and o� site removalExcavation of Japanese knotweed needs to be completed by specialists with all waste and spoil taken to licensed land �ll by authorised carriers. This process is used when it’s necessary to remove infestations quickly. We have very competitive rates around the UK and priority space at land�ll sites.

Excavation and stockpileWhen time is of the essence, and it is necessary to keep the contamination on site, we can safely move the infestation to a controlled area of the site and treat at a later date. This can substantially reduce costs and will be supervised by ourselves throughout the whole process.

Excavation and siftUsing specialist equipment and teams of highly trained operatives, we can usually reduce the spoil that needs removing signi�cantly by separating the contaminates from the clean material.

Root barriersWe use root barriers on sites which have previously been treated or have an unknown risk as a precaution to prevent damage to buildings, roads and pathways. These need specialist installation by trained operatives.

Surveys

As every infestation is unique, a survey is needed to identify the target species, assess the extent of contamination, understand the environmental impact of any treatments and to accurately estimate time and costs to complete the work.

A full written survey will provide a report detailing all the information needed to understand the requirements to successfully treat the infestation.

A nominal charge applies to surveys due the in depth information provided. Please contact us for more information.
