Question: What physical and mechanical methods are used for controlling invasive plants?
Answer: Methods include cutting by hand, hand pulling, mechanical dredging, covering, full excavation, removal, and biological methods using natural predators. These methods are chosen based on the type of infestation.
A Closer Look:
Physical and mechanical methods are often used when chemical treatments are not suitable or preferred. These methods can be effective in removing invasive plants and their root systems, providing an immediate solution while also being environmentally friendly by avoiding chemical use. Depending on the invasive species we may use mechanical methods such as removing the plant and roots by hand, cutting with chain saw and any of our range of excavation methods.
