If you find some, just send us a message via our website contact page (or phone us if you know one of our numbers) and we will go out and sort it.

Don’t pull anything that you are not sure about.

If you are sure, here is a demonstration of how to eradicate Himalayan balsam (click or tap the arrow button in the middle of the video).

Note the look-and-feel of the stem and roots – an important part of identification.
