I am also aware that control and eradication of JK is not about putting acronyms onto methods which make them sound complex and 'top secret'. We have seen other companies try to blind their customers with what is basically smoke and mirrors - hidden behind clever phrases shortened to secret codes.... We do not make misleading claims about what we do and always try to be as helpful to our customers as possible by keeping our methods clear and easy to understand. Japanese Knotweed is a complex plant which will not respond the same way each time it is treated - thats why it is so difficult to eradicate - thats why there is so much legislation in place! You cant just hit a highly invasive plant and hope you kill it and there isnt a fast method that works...if you know what I mean. Mike C. Steven,
