Blackburn is an industrial town in Lancashire. Japanese Knotweed have carried out Japanese Knotweed removal in Rotherham for more than 25 years. Therefore, we can help you manage and eradicate invasive weeds.
Japanese Knotweed originates from Japan but in the Victorian Era a sample of the plant was brought back to the UK. In its natural habitat it was controlled by native pests and the climate. However, in the UK the plant was found to grow quickly, and by the mid-1800s, it became extremely popular.
However today, we now understand it’s invasive properties. Unfortunately, if Japanese Knotweed growing on land is found to be encroaching on to neighbouring properties, it is then classed as a private nuisance. Therefore, leaving you open to court action and legal disputes. So, if you find Japanese Knotweed early on to contact us. This will save you a lot of time and money.
Japanese Knotweed is very invasive so spotting it early helps minimise the spread. Because it spreads and grows very quickly, as it spreads it can cause damage along the way. In fact, it can break through gaps in concrete and damage foundations and drains. However, our team has been working with invasive weeds for more than 25 years with a 100% success rate.
The most common method of treatment is a herbicide treatment. Which, is also, typically the most cost effective for our clients. The best time to spay the Japanese knotweed is when the plant is actively growing. The herbicide we use is a systemic translocating herbicide which is most efficient on a warm, sunny day during the growing season. We use two different chemicals to treat Japanese knotweed, one is significantly stronger than what is available to the general public.
