INVOLVE A PROFESSIONAL
When assessing the cost of treatment or removal, it is recommended to consult with an expert, who can determine the area and severity of the infestation as well as advising on the legislative obligations involved in the treatment or removal of the weed such as the selection of herbicide and regulations concerning disposal. It is important to understand that the cost of allowing Japanese knotweed to grow is far more troubling than the cost of its removal.
The area of infestation should be inspected by a professional who can complete a suitable management plan for the site which includes treatment options and associated costs. This document may be required by the mortgage lender.
THE COST OF TREATMENT
The cost of treatment of the Japanese knotweed includes the services of the specialist as well as the costs for equipment and herbicides and are dependent on the methodology. Chemical treatment is highly effective and often one of the cheapest methods for control, however it could take up to five years for the Japanese knotweed to be completely eliminated.
THE COST OF DISPOSAL
If you choose to remove the Japanese knotweed by cutting or digging it out, you’ll need to bear in mind the cost of disposal. Since the plant is classified as controlled waste, it must be transported by a licensed carrier and disposed of at a licensed landfill site. This is to ensure that the plant is not unintentionally spread.
DETERMINANTS OF COST
There are various factors that should be considered when calculating the cost of removal, including the size of the area, the method of treatment i.e. spraying or stem injection, whether the waste will be treated onsite or transported and disposed of off-site, and the time required to complete the treatment or removal.
CONCLUSION
The cost of treating or removing Japanese knotweed is minor when compared to the potential damage the plant could cause to buildings.
