We know how important it is to correctly identify and eradicate Japanese Knotweed if it is found to be on your property. Identification of Japanese Knotweed is key to ensure that the correct treatment is implemented. However, we also know that there are many look-a-like plants out there that can be easily mistaken for Japanese Knotweed.

We offer a free photograph identification service where you can send over a photo of your suspected plant to us, via our online contact form. Our experienced team will then be able to correctly identify whether you have Japanese Knotweed growing on your property.

If Japanese Knotweed is found to be growing on your property, then a site survey and management plan can be completed. These detail specific information about your Japanese Knotweed outbreak and the treatment option/s that will be used to eradicate the Japanese Knotweed.

The methods of treatment often used are:

• Herbicide Treatment – the use of a glyphosate-based systemic translocating herbicide, which is either sprayed or injected or a combination.
• Permanent Burial – this method is used to quickly and efficiently clear a site of Japanese Knotweed, by excavating the contaminated soil and burying it in a root barrier.
• Excavation and Removal – again this is a quick and efficient method of treatment, used when there is not enough time for herbicide treatment. The contaminated soil is excavated and removed from the site to a licenced landfill site. This is all done in a controlled manner to ensure further spread does not occur.
• Combined Treatment Methods – This is as the wording says a combination of various treatment methods to effectively eradicate Japanese Knotweed.
