Using spray and stem injection Argyll Knotweed Control
can help eradicate knotweed from your property.
Spraying with herbicide can be a very effective method of treatment although it can take three to four years for the full eradication of Japanese Knotweed with the Folia treatment.
The stem injection method is proven to be the most effective method against re-growth and with this method there is no need to cut canes or handle plant material for disposal.
Invasive non-native plants are species which have been brought into the UK that have the ability to spread causing damage to the environment, the economy, our health and the way we live.
Japanese Knotweed was introduced to Britain in the 19th century as an ornamental plant and over time it has become widespread. It has vigorously invaded a range of habitats, which it has colonised and dominated at the expense and exclusion of native plants. In light of the economic and environmental damage associated with Japanese Knotweed it has been identified as one of the highest risk non-native invasive species in the country. The Environment Agency calls it “indisputably the UK’s most aggressive, destructive and invasive plant”.
Japanese Knotweed is able to colonise a variety of urban environments. Due to its ability to exploit weaknesses in construction materials, such as concrete and tarmac, new knotweed growth can cause serious damage to buildings, hard surfaces and infrastructure. Once established underneath or around the built environment, it can be particularly hard to control.
“At the Olympic site in East London the RHS reports the cost of removing and disposing of Japanese Knotweed to be estimated at £70 million.”
