Herbicide is a practical control measure for tackling Japanese Knotweed and other invasive species. Typically, it is best suited for areas that are not otherwise being used or can handle exposure to herbicidal chemicals. That’s why we also use a more precise stem injection method where appropriate to maximise effectiveness and prevent other plants from being exposed.
Herbicide is more cost-effective and less intrusive than other methods, like excavation. However, it still fulfils the legal requirements for a complete treatment – which is vital when looking to sell your property. All herbicidal treatment programmes carried out by our team come with an insurance backed guarantee. This provides the necessary paperwork to support your mortgage application and treatment as required.

If you suspect you’ve found Japanese Knotweed or any other invasive species on your property, contact our team by calling 020 8769 7321 or filling out our contact form.

We offer two different methods to tackle your invasive species. Be sure to send us a picture when you get in touch so we can identify what the best solution for you will be.
Our preferred method of treatment – we inject the stem of the plant directly with a suitable herbicide. This is a more precise and effective method than foliar spray, but requires the plant to be large enough to inject. It removes the risk of collateral damage making it suitable for invasive species along waterways or near other plants and can also be completed in wet conditions.
Our team will carefully spray the knotweed with herbicide. They use all appropriate PPE as well as specialised nozzles to ensure only the invasive species is affected. It is an ideal solution for plants that are too small to receive a stem injection.
We are experts in our industry and are always happy to share knowledge about the invasive species we eradicate, legal responsibilities, and how we work.
