What should I do if there’s Japanese knotweed on my property?
If you believe there’s Japanese knotweed on your property, follow these steps:
- Make sure it’s actually Japanese knotweed. There are quite a few plants that resemble Japanese knotweed, so look closely at the plant to make sure you’re dealing with the real thing and not one of its doppelgangers.
- Contact Total Weed Control. We do not recommend attempting to destroy the plant yourself (see DIY Japanese knotweed removal) as it is very difficult for untrained individuals to remove all traces of the plant and its rhizome root system. You may even end up breaking the lawn by accidentally spreading the plant into the wild.
- Arrange a Japanese knotweed survey. This initial survey gives us a chance to confirm the presence of Fallopia japonica on your property and recommend the best course of action based on your requirements and the extent of your infestation.
If you choose Total Weed Control to manage your Japanese knotweed problem, we can either carry out a programme of herbicide applications or excavate the knotweed and dispose of it in accordance with the Property Care Association’s code of practice.
