Methods of Application

As with all chemicals wear the appropriate clothing and follow all instructions on the product labels.  

Before choosing your method of bracken control take into 
consideration the following:
 
The Type of ground to be treated?
Is it on or near a Nature Reserve/National Park/AONB/SSSI?
Is there an Archaeological site on the area to be treated?
Is it near a water source?
Are there animals grazing on or near the area to be treated?
Are there public footpaths?
Are there food crops nearby?
Is there a forestry site around or near the area to be treated?

 

Aerial Spraying:

Control by aerial spraying is most successful where there are large areas of bracken, and can often prove is a valid and cost effective option, but if you have answered yes to any of the above this may not be the best option for you.

Tractor or quad bike:

Vehicle Mounted Atomisers & Sprayers are available and this method will suit areas that are too large for hand sprayers or in areas where Aerial Spraying is not a valid option. Do not use tractors or quad bikes on steep slopes or on ground where there is an Archaeological site. 

Knapsack/handheld Sprayers:

Suitable for smaller areas. This method is suitable for archaeological sites and for follow-up treatment on limited areas.
