Why Japanese knotweed is a problem in King's Lynn
On King's Lynn properties, Japanese knotweed rhizome spreads several metres underground, exploits cracks in hard standing and drains, and can stall a mortgage offer or sale. King's Lynn's historic docks along the Great Ouse and its former industrial wharves have provided disturbed riverside ground that knotweed has colonised, with further spread along the old rail lines into the town.

How we treat Japanese knotweed in King's Lynn
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
King's Lynn and nearby South Wootton, North Wootton, Gaywood.
