Cobham, Surrey -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/28/2016 -- Japanese knotweed removal company, Environet has today announced their range of Japanese knotweed treatments designed to kill and eradicate this invasive plant from homes across the country. Knotweed has been branded by The Sunday Times as "The Plant That's Eating Britain" due to the aggressive nature of this species. Originally introduced into the UK in the 1940s as an ornamental plant from East Asia, Japanese knotweed has steadily grown across the country and can be found in many counties as a wayside weed.

"Japanese knotweed can be very destructive at this time of year as the plant grows up to 2 meters in height between spring and summer. This rapid growth can cause damage to properties, driveways, and gardens," commented Nicolas Seal, MD from Environet UK Ltd, "…our range of treatment solutions are designed to work alongside our patented Xtract™ methodology, which removes the knotweed, including the rhizome and root systems."

During the winter months, the bamboo like stems regress as the plant winterises with the root systems remaining underground, however every spring the knotweed resurfaces. Japanese knotweed has caused many homeowners difficulties, principally because mortgage lenders won't lend against properties where knotweed has been found.

"Trying to remove knotweed yourself can be difficult and many chemical or herbicide treatments take time to completely kill the plant. The best way to eradicate and treat Japanese knotweed is to get an experienced company like Environet to help", concluded Seal.
