What time of year should you treat Japanese knotweed?
Are you wondering when is the best time to treat Japanese knotweed?
The best time is during the growing season,
typically between late spring and early autumn. During this time, the plant is actively growing and the herbicides are more effective at killing the roots and shoots. It’s important to follow the instructions on the product label and to ensure that the treatment is carried out by a professional. Keep in mind, it’s illegal to bury or burn it on site and it needs to be disposed of at a licensed landfill site. Consult with a professional surveyor who specializes in Japanese knotweed treatment to determine the best course of action for your specific circumstances
