This is not true.

Bolox. You have to get a specialist in who uses chemicals that only he can obtain, as they are so dangerous. There has to be many months of treatments, you have to alert your neighbours and only after a period of being JK free then you get a certificate.

It's not just pop down to B&Q, get a 20 gallon drum of glyphosate and be persistent you utter moron.

Glyphosate
Perhaps the most effective and simplest method for the home gardener to tackle Japanese knotweed is with the glyphosate-based weedkiller Scotts Roundup Tree Stump & Rootkiller. This has label recommendation for controlling Japanese knotweed, instructing it to be applied to the cut canes. Bayer Garden Super Strength Weedkiller also has label control for this weed

Even the environment agency (my second link) states you can do it yourself. Then gives you information on all the things you can't do and links to more leaflets.

Japanese knotweed is classed as 'controlled waste' under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. This requires disposal at licensed landfill sites. Specialist Japanese knotweed contractors are usually licensed to safely remove the weed from site but check first before employing their services.

It usually takes at least three to four seasons to eradicate Japanese knotweed using glyphosate. Professional contractors, however, will have access to more powerful weedkillers that may reduce this period by half

Which bit of the new legislation makes the bit I quoted incorrect?

Which bit of the new legislation makes the bit I quoted incorrect?

Nothing. I am incorrect, but only by virtue of New legislation which moved the goalposts a bit.

However the best route still remains to get a licensed contractor.

However owing to new legislation, the average can now dump it up the local landfill and cause an outbreak.

Don't have any problems with it up here in the upper reaches of the Pennines, just heather and grass.

The best Weed Killer you can legally buy is GALLUP 360 available from amazon but not B&Q et al. Effective on JK. It's superb stuff.
