Japanese Knotweed Eradication and Japanese Knotweed Removal

Japanese Knotweed eradication and treatment image

Eco Control Solutions (ECS) is a cutting edge company with a proactive approach to invasive weed management and Japanese knotweed removal.

Japanese Knotweed is capable of growing 10cm per day and is found throughout the UK. It is a highly invasive weed and is capable of exposing weaknesses in buildings, foundations, concrete and tarmac.

It has the capability to regenerate from rhizome as small as 0.4g, therefore Japanese knotweed poses a massive risk of spreading via groundwork and disturbance.
