Common Methods of Weed Control We Provide

Weed Problems?
We’ve Got It Covered

Drill and Fill

Drill and fill is a herbicide injection method used to control woody weeds, particularly larger ones with trunks or stems over 5cm in circumference. It involves drilling downward-angled holes into the sapwood, filling them with a herbicide solution, and then sealing the holes. This technique is effective because the herbicide is directly delivered to the tree’s vascular system, ensuring uptake by the plant’s roots.

Stump Treating & Cut'n'Paste

Stump treatments with herbicides are a way to kill pest plants or trees and prevent them from resprouting after felling. This method of control involves applying a systemic herbicide directly to the stump or freshly cut trunk. Common herbicides used include glyphosate and triclopyr.

Mechanical Control / Removal

Mechanical control involves the physical removal of invasive plants using tools like brush cutters or chainsaws and hand tools. Pestrex uses this method to clear dense vegetation and prevent re-infestation.

Foliar spray/herbicide spray

Our team are certified to use herbicide sprays around your property to achieve complete control of pest plants or grasses in a safe manner. Amenity spraying can save your back from having to hand pull thousands of weeds creeping up through your paving! We also perform pre-planting sprays or site preparation sprays to kill off undesirable grasses such as kikuyu or perform targeted sprays to kill off turf weeds and broadleaf varieties. We choose the perfect active ingredient every time and apply safely to ensure environmental safety and best control.

Getting Ready for Your Exterior Pest Treatment

  • Please close all doors and windows while the treatment is being applied.
  • If you have outdoor furniture, toys, or BBQ equipment in the treatment area, please move or cover them if possible.

Aftercare Following Exterior Treatment
