Buddleia was introduced to the UK in the 19th century as an ornamental plant, Buddleia is another invasive weed that we can eradicate. With the shrubs growing up to 5ft tall it can become a major problem, especially when left to grow on riverbanks and railway lines etc. It grows rapidly and spreads via wind dispersion, animals, water currents and even vehicles driving by. 

Once the invasive plant begins to grow, its root systems can cause damage to any materials in it’s path (including brickwork). This means, without a successful eradication, Buddleia can cause costly repairs for your property. 

Japanese Knotweed recently inspected the below property where the Buddleia had caused significant damage to the structural integrity of the building.
