An excellent company to deal with, from survey to treatment. Luke has been particularly helpful - we sent a lot of emails before instruction and at every turn he was able to advise and reassure us in a very timely fashion. Thank you.
I asked Environet to investigate a garden prior to exchange of contracts on a property. I specifically chose Environet for their unique selling points: Mick and Mack. The dogs spent some considerable time intimately investigating every inch of ground to ensure no Japanese Knotweed is present. I was also given a considerable amount of information about knotweed infestation, and of course how the dogs are trained. I now have the reassurance of a site thoroughly inspected and a full warranty too. Environet were quick to respond to my request, very courteous and efficient, and I highly recommend this reassuring service.

Japanese knotweed and other invasive plants have become a common sight across the South East of England since their introduction in the 19th century, colonising our gardens and parks, verges and waterways. Japanese knotweed is the most problematic, closely followed by bamboo which has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its screening qualities but will spread rampantly if left unchecked. Other invasive plants such as horsetail, giant hogweed, Himalayan balsam and cotoneaster can also cause considerable problems.
Knotweed is found throughout the South East region, with notable hotspots in Woking, Brighton and Hove, Tunbridge Wells and Hastings.
Japanese knotweed can damage property, lead to expensive repairs and spread to neighbouring properties, creating complicated legal issues. It can even cause home values to plummet and make them difficult to sell. We have successfully helped hundreds of homeowners across the region overcome problems that Japanese knotweed has caused on their properties.
Bamboo also spreads, its rhizomes extending 30 feet or more, with new shoots appearing through lawns and patios. Where this occurs in an adjacent property it can result in neighbour disputes which can ultimately lead to legal action.
