• Basel spraying of pest plants.
Willows, Pines, Wattles etc. We have found this form of treatment on woody steamed pest plants to be extremely effective.
It is also a very specific way of dealing with the problem plants and leaving the desired ones unharmed.
The picture below shows an infestation of both crack and grey willow throughout a wetland after being recently poisoned.
• Weed Control.
This can take many forms such as cut and pasting stems of gorse, barberry, hawthorn etc, where spraying is not an option.
It could be as simple as hand weeding inside plant covers / spray guards.
What ever it may be we can offer advice on the best options for weed control specific to your project.
• Knapsack Spraying.
In order to achieve great results with your revegetation project you will need to ensure that the plants grow with as little competition as possible.
Knapsack spraying is the way to achieve this whether it be blanket or release spraying.
We can advise you on the best chemicals to use that will not harm the soil condition or inhibit plant growth.
With years of experience spraying around plants, we can with confidence, ensure that your newly planted project flourishes through lack of competition.
• Wasps.
Not only are wasps a pest and a danger to humans, they also compete with native birds and insects for food.
As part of our holistic approach to revegetation we like to also control the wasp population.
There are many options for control however recently a wonderful bait has been developed and the results speak for themselves.
