JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL
Leaf application of herbicide
Leaf application of herbicides is also commonly known within the industry as foliage spraying. This method of Knotweed herbicide treatment is an ideal solution for treating both small and large areas of the garden that are infected with the notorious Japanese Knotweed. This particular treatment is a popular choice due to the speed in which the herbicide can be applied to the leaves and how quickly it can be absorbed into the plant. The Japanese Knotweed herbicide is absorbed into the rhizomes of the plant where it will quickly destroy the species. Our residential herbicide treatment for Japanese Knotweed removal is cost-effective, however, you may still need to consider having the knotweed excavated if you wish to landscape or develop the land further.
How long does the Japanese Knotweed herbicide take to work?
Generally speaking, destroying the Japanese knotweed with herbicide is a quick and cost-effective way of eradicating the invasive plant from your garden. However, for it to be completely effective the Knotweed herbicide treatment needs to be taken down to the rhizomes to work properly. The herbicide is usually rainfast within 10 minutes, which is ideal for the unpredictable British weather. The only downside is that treating Japanese knotweed with herbicide can take between 2-5 years to kill the infestation completely. If the plant that you are trying to destroy is well established, this can take even longer.
