There are a variety of weed control methods that can be utilised to effectively control different weed species. Weed control methods include cutting and swabbing, stump injection, drilling 89

Cut and Swab Cut off all stems as low as possible using a chainsaw or pruning saw, secateurs or long-handled loppers. The cut must be horizontal so that the herbicide rests on the cut area while being absorbed, rather than running down the side of the stem; Stumps will be left in the ground so as to not disturb the soil and to help retain the soil in place i.e. reduce the likelihood of soil erosion; Remove all stems from the stump, so that no active (or green) branches/shoots remain, no matter how small they are; Liberally swab all cut surfaces immediately with the herbicide mixture. This must be done preferably within half a minute, or immediately if possible. The cut surface cannot be allowed to dry out, otherwise the herbicide will be much less effective. Use a paintbrush, swabber or squeeze bottle (laboratory) to apply the herbicide mixture. Add a dye to the herbicide mixture that will help indicate where swabbing has already been done; The tissues that take up and move the poison are immediately under the bark layer, so concentrate on applying the poison around the outer rim of the stump; Follow up work may be required. If the stumps re-sprout which can be common with some species, then cut and swab or spray the new regrowth with herbicide; The most effective time of the year to cut and swab plants is when they are actively growing, which varies between species. Drill and Fill Drill a steeply angled hole into the plant's cambium layer (where sap flows just beneath the bark layer) with a cordless drill, using a 10mm drill bit; The holes should be as close to the base of the plant as possible, and it is essential for the hole to be steeply angled into the cambium otherwise the herbicide will not be absorbed into the sap flow; Immediately after the hole has been drilled fill with herbicide. Syringes (without the needle) or squeeze bottles can be used to administer the herbicide into the hole; Holes are drilled every 2.5-5cm until the base of the plant has been circled; Follow up work may be required. If the plant re-sprouts which can be common with some species, then the process needs to be repeated. Frilling For large and medium sized trees and shrubs with a large stump or lignotuber the following “Frilling” method is recommended. It can be used in conjunction with the cut 90
