Cobham, Surrey -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2016 -- Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia Japonica) is a non-native invasive plant which grows throughout the UK causing widespread damage to properties, roads and buildings. Knotweed can cause serious issues for property developers, home owners and landlords alike. Expert help and advice is needed to remove Japanese knotweed.
Herbicide Treatments vs Removal of Japanese Knotweed
Whilst treating the plant with herbicides or chemicals can work effectively, sometimes such treatments won't kill Japanese knotweed, but rather stunt its growth or cause it to regress. Total eradication of Japanese knotweed via a removal method is perhaps the best solution, as the root structure is completely removed.
Leading UK expert, Nicolas Seal commented, "Discovering that Japanese knotweed is growing on your property can be a scary or daunting experience. By spring, the small bamboo-like stems will be growing at such a fast rate that you'll see them dwarfing other plants and foliage. Getting rid of Japanese knotweed is not as simple as you might think, so you'll need to take careful advice before trying to remove Japanese knotweed yourself."
How to Kill Japanese Knotweed from your Property
There are several ways to kill knotweed. One approach is total eradication through excavation and off-site disposal, often referred to as "Dig and Dump". However better alternatives exist, such as Xtract™ and Resi-Dig-Out™. Typically half the price of 'Dig & Dump', these methods take a matter of days, and can be completed at any time throughout the year. Trying to remove knotweed by hand isn't advisable as regrowth is extremely likely, unless every trace of the root system is removed. Other methods involve strong herbicides or chemical treatment to kill the knotweed. Chemical treatments vary in effectiveness, so it is important to speak to a specialist Japanese knotweed removal company.
