RSC Group can treat the most common local invasive species such as:
- Japanese Knotweed
- Hybrid Knotweed
- Giant Knotweed
- Himalayan Knotweed
- Giant Hogweed
- Himalayan Balsam
These invasive non-native species are now widely recognised as a major threat to biodiversity worldwide. Japanese knotweed for example can block footpaths and damage concrete, tarmac, flood defenses and the stability of river banks whilst giant hogweed can cause harm to human health. The presence of these non-native species can also create serious issues for indigenous UK and Irish species and dramatically reduce biodiversity.
RSC Group can treat and kill these invasive species by spraying or stem injection.
Site visits and risk assessments are completed before any work is commenced and chemicals and working methods to be used will be identified and all environmentally sensitive areas will be protected at each location.
