We have treated several cases that involved Japanese Knotweed removal in Fenton. This invasive weed is widespread throughout the UK. With many outbreaks being reported each day.

This invasive plant was originally introduced into Britain as an ornamental plant by the Victorians. It soon become apparent that this plant was very invasive. It spreads rapidly and is not spread by normal germination methods when outsides its native environment of Asia.

The smallest piece of rhizome, the size of a fingernail can grow into a plant. This can be spread in several ways, including animals like badgers, flying tipping, contaminated soil and water sources. These can all transfer rhizomes from one site to another site, where they can settle and grow!

We have treated many cases of Japanese Knotweed removal in Fenton and all have been successful in eradicating this invasive weed from the site. As a leading Japanese Knotweed Expert in Staffordshire, we pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service and ensuring you are 100% with all work completed.

Our most common method of treatment is herbicide treatment. We use a systemic translocating herbicide that kills both the roots and the top of the plant. It is 300 times stronger than what a member of the public can buy. Over a year, during the growing season, we treat the Japanese Knotweed about four times. The site is then monitored for another two years to ensure complete Japanese Knotweed removal has been achieved.
