Walkers warned over spring 'asparagus' mistake that could destroy your home

Anyone who likes to get out into nature for a springtime walk has been warned to look out for a highly invasive weed.

Japanese knotweed can be found all over town and countryside areas and can spread extremely fast. With the ability to grow up to seven feet tall, it's notorious for damaging properties by growing up drainpipes and down driveways.

It can be incredibly difficult or even impossible to get the problem under control yourself, so the only way to deal with it is by contacting an expert to do it for you and making any necessary repairs - which can end up being extremely costly.
