INVAS Biosecurity is a business established to provide the first line of defense against invasive species of w**d and algae.

We offer our services to the public sector and also to the private gardener dealing with the thorny issue of problematic w**d control. Invasive plant management requires different and more specialised methodologies than traditional plant management strategies. To the private gardener who may have annoying w**d problems such as Ivy, Bindw**d, Mares Tail, or algae and w**ds in ponds, we can offer solutions to your problems backed up with science and thirty years of experience.

Camouflage!

A picture taken from Limerick City's Barrington Pier where the estuarine silt is covering Japanese Knotw**d and hiding it. Thankfully our staff aren't as easily fooled and treated this Invasive Alien Species in late summer of this year.

Buddleja taking over Dublin!
Hard to miss Butterly Bush around Dublin, particularly in the summer while it is in bloom. Pollinators like butterflies and bees are attracted to Buddleja by its bright coloured flowers in the summer. Buddleja out competes Irish Native species in this way as pollinators choose it over our own species.

Check out our before and after shots of the Westfield Lake in Limerick! With a bit more work, the locals will be able to make full use of the viewing platform just in time for our annual bird migrations

Rivers are a significant vector in the spread of IAS. Here are two images of Japanese Knotw**d plants that had been treated several days ago during dry weather but are now partially submerged.

Many IAS have short root systems, allowing them to be easily washed away by rivers. The plants are moved downstream and can spread to new areas. Rivers can also carry seeds but some IAS seeds such as those from Japanese Knotw**d are infertile and rely on rivers or human interaction to be spread.
