Why Japanese knotweed is a problem in Caerphilly
On Caerphilly properties, Japanese knotweed rhizome spreads several metres underground, exploits cracks in hard standing and drains, and can stall a mortgage offer or sale. Caerphilly's disturbed ground around its historic castle moat and former colliery sites nearby has allowed knotweed to establish, with further spread along the Rhymney River valley's old rail lines.

How we treat Japanese knotweed in Caerphilly
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
Caerphilly and nearby Bedwas, Trethomas, Machen.
