Our Japanese knotweed detection dog surveys are proving so popular that we’re already expanding our team with the addition of black Cocker Spaniel Buddy, whose exceptional nose for tracking led him straight to his exciting new role!

We’re excited to announce that we’re going international for the first time, with the launch of Exposed™: The Japanese Knotweed Heatmap in Sweden.

We are regularly contacted by Swedish people who have come into contact with Japanese knotweed, or “parkslide” as it’s known there, but find there is very little accurate information, advice or professional help available locally to deal with it.

You may have noticed a tall, thick-stemmed plant with large clusters of white flowers, rather like oversized cow parsley, while out on walks over the past few weeks. If so, it could be Giant Hogweed, a very dangerous invasive plant that has enjoyed a particularly fruitful summer which has aided its spread.
