It’s been five years since I moved to the Operations Department, and I think I have found my niche. I love the organisational side of things and the technical challenges that this role brings. I think it’s safe to say that I have overseen significant improvement, as well as managing a significant expansion in our
You probably wouldn’t know it from speaking to me (and especially not from seeing me around dogs), but technically, I’m a dog owner. Well, I live with one at any rate. So, I’m upset and worried about a disease that is commonly referred to in the UK as Alabama Rot also known as CRGV (cutaneous and renal
Here at Invasive Weed Solutions we take our responsibility for the environment seriously. Having recently been asked to detail what steps we take to reduce environmental impacts during our spray operations, I thought this would be a good opportunity to share the steps we take to ensure we keep impacts to a minimum.

I am not that old, my hair is going a bit thin but I am certainly not a dinosaur (apart from when I am running round the house chasing my toddler pretending to be a t-rex!). I am 33 but yet I feel by writing this blog I am in some way presenting myself as
… and Jon Snow is chopping up Japanese knotweed instead of white walkers: “NO, JON, NO! You’ll cause cross contamination!” OK… so the series hasn’t gone quite that far downhill (yet). Anyway, now the appalling reference is out of the way, onto the smooth segue – because it’s actually nearly winter, and the Japanese knotweed
More often than not, Invasive Weed Solutions Ltd (IWSL) are contacted when an invasive species problem has been exacerbated by interference from another ‘specialist’ contractor. Several months ago, IWSL were contacted by property owner X; for the purpose of this blog, I’ll refer to him as Mr Smith. Mr Smith instructed IWSL to undertake a
As the above suggests, Horsetail has actually been around on planet Earth for quite some time. It is a derivative of larger plants that grew some 270 million years ago, during the carboniferous period, and is a relative of the fern. As planet Earth is getting more populated, more developed, there is becoming an ever
