People get too het up about Japanese Knotweed. It generally only takes hold in unmanaged areas, and a lot of people find it a bonus - what else would be there? Wall to wall nettles? Learn to live with, I say, and if you really don't like it, get out there and pull it up (and dry and sell the stems for bee houses!). It grew in our garden in London when I was young, and it never escaped from the one flower bed, never attacked us or strangled the cat, and gave my brother and me hours of harmless fun building wigwams, and just watching it grow. So fast - magical!
