How to Get Rid of Knotweed
Japanese Knotweed creates many problems for house owners and commercial properties. The plant makes it difficult to get a loan on or sell a property, which impacts both buyers and sellers.
If you own a commercial building or property, and Japanese knotweed is present, your project may be delayed until your infestation is being dealt with correctly and legally.
Prevent this Pest from taking over a Property
- The roots of Japanese knotweed can emerge through cracks in tarmac and concrete, which can contribute to structural problems.
- In some instances mortgage lenders will not lend on a property that has been affected by Japanese Knotweed.
- Knotweed obstructs both visibility and access to paths, highways and other infrastructure. The plant produces a massive annoyance for commercial properties in particular.

We survey your knotweed problem and use the most effective methods for each growth stage, which allows us to deliver high-quality results that will produce a long-term solution. Our methods go beyond chemical treatments to identify root problems and prevent any future occurrences.
— JAPANESE KNOTWEED REMOVAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN Desborough
FOLIAR SPRAYING *
The most common treatment for Japanese Knotweed is the spraying of powerful chemicals with a knapsack. We make sure that other plants aren’t damaged. The best time to spray Japanese Knotweed is in the spring.
FOLIAR LEAF WIPING *
With this Japanese knotweed treatment we employ a device to ‘physically wipe’ our chemicals onto the Japanese Knotweed leaves. This application is so precise that we can often use a higher concentration of chemical.
STEM INJECTION
We directly administer a measured amount of herbicide to the invasive weed. Due to the injection directly into the Japanese Knotweed, this is the most ingenious elimination technique. It is not affected by the weather.
BIOMASS REDUCTION
Biomass is a type of excavation and removal, but instead of taking out all of the soil, we only take out the parts of the soil that are infected. It’s a great way to get rid of Japanese Knotweed because the soil can be used again. Using landfills less often.
CROWN REMOVAL
Crown and stems are capable of renewing, and even small fragments of clipped crown or stem are capable of regenerating and producing a new invasive weed – eliminating them is a wonderful method.

SOIL SCREENING
A tried and tested methodology used on hundreds of sites across the UK.
Using the screening method, the Japanese knotweed rhizome material is separated from the soil material. The Japanese knotweed material is then either transported to licensed landfill at a much lower disposal rate or incinerated on site using a D6 exemption from the Environment Agency or Natural Resources Wales.
The cleaned soils can then be reused in locations away from any construction, normally in soft landscaping areas.
This can reduce the landfill & backfill requirement costs significantly and can also help to reduce the carbon footprint on site due to reduced vehicle movements to landfill.
BIOSECURITY SUPERVISION
Knotweed Services can provide a biosecurity operative to supervise any excavations and movement of soils containing Japanese knotweed on site.
As part of these measures, we can provide a biosecurity boot wash and machine-washing area installed in an area at the entrance to the site.
We will provide all toolbox talks for the main contractor on site, which will be signed by all contractors involved in the operation on site.
We can provide temporary geotextile barriers if required in areas to maintain the biosecurity on site.
Once the works have been completed, we will provide the client with a full biosecurity report.
This method can be used in conjunction with other treatment methods on site.
EXCAVATION AND DISPOSAL
This treatment method is ideal where time constraints are present and there’s no other option other than to remove both the Japanese Knotweed and contaminated soil to a registered landfill.
By removing all traces of the infestation quickly, this offers a rapid solution to your problem and allows your commercial project to begin groundwork’s almost straight away. When time is of the essence, there is no quicker Japanese Knotweed removal/treatment method.
Any waste taken off-site will be done so with a licensed waste carrier to a suitably authorised landfill site.
CELL BURIAL
Cell burial comprises of moving Knotweed contaminated soil from one location on site, burying it in an excavated pit which is lined with a root barrier membrane, in a different position on the site.
The burial requirements for Japanese Knotweed are as follows:
- The Environment Agency recommends that the top of the burial cell should be a minimum of 2 metres below ground level.
- The overall depth of the burial pit should be in excess of 5 metres deep. All root barrier seams are welded together forming an encapsulated cell from which the Japanese Knotweed cannot escape. Clean soil is then used to backfill on top of the cell.
- To prevent accidental disturbance of the burial site, it is recorded on all site plans and future land owners should be made aware of the location.
STOCKPILE & TREAT
Bundling is a technique used to move contaminated Japanese Knotweed soil to another portion of the site that is being treated. A bund is a small, often 0.5m-deep region of contaminated soil.
For the surface of the bund to be flush with the surroundings, it can be raised, placed on top of the ground, or positioned inside an excavation.
The Japanese Knotweed will be relocated to a less-used region of the site thanks to the bund. When compared to where the Japanese knotweed was first found, this “buys time” for treatment.
HERBICIDE APPLICATION
At Knotweed Services we can provide the client with bespoke treatment plans depending on the locations of the Japanese knotweed.
These plans can work in conjunction with other methods of treatment where access is limited to pedestrian movements i.e., embankments or existing pathways within a site.
This will normally consist of up to 3 visits per annum to apply herbicide by either foliar spray technique or stem injection during the growing season over a period of 3 years, with a monitoring period of 2 years thereafter.
We would select the appropriate herbicides depending on the surrounding foliage or environmental constraints.
After each visit a full treatment record would be provided with photos showing the progress of the works and then an annual report.
