TYPES OF CHEMICALS

RESIDUAL CHEMICALS Residual chemicals create a barrier within the soil which can remain for up to 2 years. The herbicide used is a broad leaved killer and is capable of killing Japanese Knotweed within one season. These chemicals are NOT approved for use near to water or in environmentally sensitive areas.

NON-RESIDUAL CHEMICALS The only herbicide approved for use near water is Glyphosate. A WQM1 form must be submitted to the Environment Agency if this herbicide treatment is required within 5m of an open water course. Eradication with Glyphosate will require repeat applications over a 3 to 5 year period.
