Giant Hogweed

Now becoming a Giant problem across the UK. It is injurious, causing serious burns to humans (often children) and pets. Annual reported injuries are on the increase.

Himalayan Balsam

This common plant species is taking over the banks of our rivers and waterways. Present across the UK it is shading out our native species, causing erosion and loss of habitat.

Horsetail

Destroying footpaths across Britain and frustrating gardeners – probably the plant species which causes the most damage to infrastructure and gardens (Mares Tail).

Himalayan Knotweed

A close relation to the Japanese species, another persistent invasive with many of the same qualities as its cousin, recommended to be managed in the same way.

Rhododendron Ponticum

Management Techniques

Managing Japanese Knotweed in the residential environment is fairly straight forward. Customers just want you to kill or remove their Japanese Knotweed. Most times herbicide management will be the best, most cost effective solution with minimal impact on the environment. As long as you use a reputable Japanese Knotweed specialist who can provide the guarantees that you may be asked for if selling or borrowing against your property, then you really cannot go wrong. Refer to the Property Care Association www. property-care.org

Environmental Solution – Guarantees – Property Sales – Mortgage Requirement

Managing Japanese Knotweed and other invasive weeds in the construction industry is a different matter. You only need to look on the internet to see the number of management options which can be considered; some more effective than others, some more costly than others. Herbicide treatment / excavations / burials / sifting sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start.

Desk Study – Site Survey – Site Specific Solution – Best Value – Environmental Impact – Risk Management

The reality is that most times in the site development scenario the best solution will be achieved by using a combination of approved methods. To develop the right strategy for your project you need to deal with a specialist who understands what you do, what you are trying to achieve and what your criteria is. Employing ‘specialists’ with little site experience can result in escalating costs as the remedial activity conflicts with your site development works.

Herbicide Management To Control Invasive Weeds

Most invasive weeds management will require the use of herbicide. However the correct use of herbicide is not as simple as it may seem, just ask around and hear story after story about failed management and recurring weed issues. Effective herbicide management is all about using the right dose of the most appropriate product at the right time of the year in the correct weather conditions. Otherwise your problem will not be completely resolved, and in the case of Japanese Knotweed your problem most probably actually worsened.

KleerKut will ensure that the lowest dose of the safest product will be applied at the right time of the year. We ensure that impact on the environment is minimised while your outcome is maximised and we can provide meaningful guarantees at the end of the treatment programme.

The use of herbicide can be employed as a standalone management method or combined with soil movement and or aftercare management.

Speak to us to find out more about our ‘No Frills’ domestic treatment options; with low cost, minimised environmental impact and yet the most successful outcome.

Intrusive Management Techniques

Most commonly these methods are employed when time will not allow treatment of the invasive weeds in situ. Options range from full excavation to partial with the material remaining on site or being taken offsite for treatment or disposal.

Whatever the requirements the Best Practical Environmental Option will always be considered.

At this stage the use of membranes are often brought into play. Whether fully encapsulating or just using as a general control measure it is important to use the correct barrier with the appropriate guarantee and have this installed by an approved contractor.
