There are two main way of dealing with Japanese knotweed. Nic Seal speaks to Professional Housebuilder and Property Developer and explains more. Whilst it’s easy to make knotweed look dead with herbicide, it’s very difficult to kill the underground rhizome system in its entirety, and even more difficult to verify with confidence that eradication has been achieved. If one is serious about eradicating the plant within a given timescale, physical removal is the only answer. Whilst it might be more expensive per se than herbicide treatment, the reason all major developers use it is that it’s carried out in days not years, has a better success rate, cuts delays and therefore overall cost.
