Why Japanese knotweed is a problem in Eastleigh
On Eastleigh properties, Japanese knotweed rhizome spreads several metres underground, exploits cracks in hard standing and drains, and can stall a mortgage offer or sale. Eastleigh grew up around its railway works, and the sidings, embankments and old ballast yards near Eastleigh station continue to provide the disturbed ground knotweed favours, reinforced by proximity to the River Itchen floodplain.

How we treat Japanese knotweed in Eastleigh
Treatment method
We use a three to five year stem-injection and foliar herbicide programme, or hybrid and full excavation with licensed off-site disposal where timescales are tight.
Best timing
Most effective late summer to early autumn, when the plant draws herbicide down into the rhizome.
Your legal position
Listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 — allowing it to spread to neighbouring land can bring a civil claim, and the cut material is controlled waste.
Local coverage
Eastleigh and nearby Chandler's Ford, Bishopstoke, Fair Oak.
