There are various ways of killing Japanese Knotweed on your property. The big issue you face is how extensive your infestation of knotweed dominates your property – not just above the ground, but underneath as well.

Another option is to burn the weeds in a controlled way to ensure everyone nearby is safe. A third option comes in fully excavating the root and disposing of it.

Cost of Eradication
