It seems that it can't be eradicated

so you might have little real choice other than to put up with it's presence anyway.
However it would seem to make sense to try to limit its spread as much as possible. Here's what the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors has to offer on the subject:

A guy who owned land, that overlooked our's and a few neighbours, had JKW on his land. It can be eradicated, but it'll take a while.
I constantly used weed killer that contains glyphosate, on the bit that overlooked mine and my neighbour's land (I asked for permission). After several repeated doses, I'd managed to force back the JKW 20 feet or so.
The guy resorted to repeated burning, chopping and weedkiller applications and he has managed to finally get rid of it for good. It was quite a large area as well - I reckon approx 50 feet in diameter, possibly more and the plants grew well over 6 feet high.

certain amount of shoulder shrugging from those who dont have it
( I do )
seven metres is the magic number where they say you may have difficulties with a mortgage
I paid around £1000 to have two properties treated and it lasted ten years but came back
BUT in the mean time
1) the govt has spoken on this and I cant find out what they said
in true AB fashion s/o said 'foo da govt said it wasnt a problem no more. yeah.' - which cd mean anything at all. it isnt a problem for them but it still is for you and so on
2) there has been a recent court of appeal case in favour of the householder
https:/
and the judgement is here
https:/
so it does look as tho you can ding the owner of the land for treatment.
dont know of anyone who has.....
oh and the knotweed controller - the one I paid £1000 to said a few weeks ago
yeah foo dat - just to get us to drive over and look at it - we charge £275......yeah?

Leave it at your peril. Could put off homebuyers to see it nearby.
