Hi John Lampe here. It's a cold crisp day up here in the Northland. I'm a licensed

pesticide applicator in the categories of natural areas and forests. Not a lot

of work at this time of year, so I'm going to step inside and do a

little video slideshow on how to kill Japanese knotweed in three simple steps.

Now I want to be upfront and mention that our company, Green Shoots, sells

products that I think work great for killing knotweed and make mixing and

treating a lot easier. However the basic information I discuss in this video

applies no matter what products you choose to use to control knotweed.

So, what's the big deal with invasive knotweed? Why are naturalist and invasive

species specialists so concerned about it? This photo was taken a few years ago

at a site I worked on with the State Department of Transportation.

The highway department had sprayed the roadside weeds earlier in the year.

Typical roadside weeds are very tough but as you can see knotweed is even

tougher!

Once knotweed really establishes itself it's even worse. It often forms

monocultures like this where nothing else can grow. This is absolutely

terrible habitat for native plants and organisms. However with a little

perseverance and the proper tools, knotweed can be controlled. This is a

site where we did a foliar application of foam herbicide to Bohemian knotweed

with, as you can see, devastating effect. Just remember - after eradicating the

knotweed you will often be left with bare ground where very few native plants
