Plant Control

TPS plant control team can control a wide range of weeds and pest plants using the latest plant control equipment and Growsafe trained and qualified staff. TPS commits to using chemical in a way that ensures minimal environmental impact. Using Integrated Pest Management Strategies (IPMS) are essential  when assessing plant control options.  TPS will evaluate each situation and complete the operation in the safest, most responsible and effective way.  All work carried out by the TPS plant control team is carried out under strict compliance with New Zealand Standards - NZS 8409 - Management of Agrichemicals.
