Himalayan Balsam - Treatment

Dealing with Himalayan Balsam - Impatiens glandulifera

They may have beautiful pink orchid like flowers but these highly invasive and aggressive weeds are increasingly invading woodlands, gardens and many others areas. Keeping on top of this annual weed is vital as it grows to up to 8-10 feet in a summer and seeds profusely - literally firing its seeds metres away!

The army of seedlings generated may have serious environmental impacts, degrading native plant and wildlife habitat, and choking verges, riverbanks and woodlands.

Why call us in? We use the safest solutions to tackle your weed problems before they get worse!

Knowledgeable and Qualified Weed Treatment Professionals

Strict legal and health and safety compliance means that weed killing is very much a specialist and skilled operation needing careful planning to offer the high standard of results expected.

Our staff are fully trained and qualified, and individually have over 20 years' experience dealing with weed treatment and removal.

To satisfy legal requirements

The Noxious Weeds Act (1959) requires land owners to eliminate "scheduled" weeds and The Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981). On the 6th April 2010 Himalayan balsam was included under Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, thus making it an offence to deliberately allow the plant to grow in the wild.
