Japanese Knotweed eradication in Sheffield has become an increasingly urgent issue, primarily due to fly-tipping and the spread of the plant by animals like foxes and badgers. Even a small piece of the rhizome, as tiny as a thumbnail, is enough to create a new plant, making control of the species particularly challenging.

We pride ourselves on our customer service. On this occasion, one of our clients, who owned a residential property, reached out to us on a Sunday afternoon. Thanks to our office system, all calls are forwarded to a member of the management team outside of regular office hours, allowing us to answer questions and provide assistance at a time that works best for our clients.

We organised to come out on a Tuesday at 7am as they had to leave for work at 8am. We found a relatively small outbreak just measuring 2m2. Once we had conducted the survey we produced the management plan which outlined a three-year plan to ensure total eradication using translocating herbicides. The chemicals we use are significantly stronger than what is available to the public! Even if you can get them off the internet we would strongly advise against this as without the proper training they can be very dangerous. We are two years into the program for the eradication of Japanese Knotweed in Sheffield. As a result, we are pleased to say we have seen no new growth in the last year. Inspections will continue for another 12 months upon which the site can be declared free of Japanese knotweed.
