Invasive Species Control

Invasive species hurt native populations of plants, mammals, insects, birds, and the overall ecological value of your property. There are countless invasive species, and each require specific treatment.

Invasive species we commonly see include; Tree-Of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), Japanese barberry (Berbis japonica), Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii), autumn-olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), and multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora).

All of the bright green low laying shrubs in this photo are Japanese Barberry. On this property, the under story was consumed by barberry. This provided a large hindrance to wildlife bedding, cover, forage, and the future regeneration of this forest.

This was several maturing bushes of Autumn-olive about three weeks after an application of herbicide.

We strive for 100% control over the target species. We cover nearly every square foot of the application area to limit misses and find every last stem. 100% control is ideal, but real world conditions result in follow up spot treatments for missed individuals or stems that had poor herbicide uptake.
