Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) is one of the largest herbaceous plants in this country. It is generally regarded as a short lived perennial, typically taking between 3-5 years to reach maturity, flower, set seeds and die.

Treatment of Giant Hogweed is a fairly simple matter in that it is susceptible to several professional herbicides and the growing plants can be killed quite successfully, following 1-2 treatments. However it does require a specialist risk assessment and protective clothing is required. Such clothing may need specialist disposal if contaminated with Giant Hogweed sap.

All methods must be individually priced. Control measures for smaller infestations of knotweed may be discussed on the telephone but site visits are normally arranged and more detailed quotations offered.

Site visits are normally not charged but, due to the expertise of this company, full technical reporting in some instances, may require an agreed charge with the client before that visit.
