Why Is Japanese Knotweed So Common in Scotland?
Glasgow and the Clyde valley are the worst-affected part of Scotland, with knotweed dense along the river, the Forth and Clyde canal and the old shipyard land. SEPA rather than the Environment Agency regulates it here, and Scottish councils can issue Species Control Orders.

How Does Japanese Knotweed Removal Work in Scotland?
Every job starts with a site survey to map the infestation. Stem injection places a glyphosate-based herbicide directly into each cane so it reaches the rhizome, and foliar spraying covers larger stands. Treatment runs across one to three growing seasons with monitoring visits included, and we work to Property Care Association standards and Environment Agency guidance throughout.
What Are the Rules on Knotweed in Scotland?
In Scotland, Japanese Knotweed is covered by the Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act 2011, which amended the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 so that it is an offence to plant or otherwise cause the species to grow in the wild. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Waste (Scotland) Regulations 2012, knotweed material is controlled waste and must go to a licensed site, and SEPA rather than the Environment Agency is the regulator. Scottish councils can also serve Species Control Orders on landowners who fail to deal with an infestation. We follow SEPA guidance on every job in Scotland.
