As part of our commitments to safe environmental practice and in line with our commitments and obligations to health and safety, Invasive Weed Solutions Limited are keen to be transparent and safe, and to provide readily-accessible information about the plant protection products we use (including herbicides).

I am just taking some time out of a busy summer to give you a roundup of what’s happening in the wider industry (that’s “roundup” as in a summary; not glyphosate as in RoundUp … for a change!). Here at Invasive Weed Solutions Ltd (IWSL), we have been really busy this year, carrying out large

Having a day out? Why follow everyone else down the same path, park at the same park and feed the same overfed ducks. Go and explore! There’s a wealth of interesting sites and natural life off the well-used beaten tracks. It’s far too easy to follow the herd and be drawn to the busy areas,
Our home lives and working environments bring us into close proximity to germs from all areas; we are never too far from bacteria, germs, chemicals, diseases etc. It is all too easy to take things for granted and relax your standards of personal hygiene.
