How Is Japanese Knotweed Treated in Wales?

Every job starts with a site survey to map the infestation. Stem injection places a glyphosate-based herbicide directly into each cane so it reaches the rhizome, and foliar spraying covers larger stands. Treatment runs across one to three growing seasons with monitoring visits included, and excavation is kept for development sites that cannot wait.

What Are the Rules on Knotweed in Wales?

In Wales, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 applies as it does in England, and knotweed waste is controlled waste under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Natural Resources Wales is the regulator and licenses the disposal sites. Welsh local authorities can use Community Protection Notices against owners who let knotweed spread.
