Control costs using a contractor will depend on several factors including the type of invasive plant, terrain, size of infestation, and control method.
Blue Ridge PRISM has documented, among invasive plant control contractors operating in Virginia, a range of $400/acre – $800/acre for spot-spray herbicide treatment of herbaceous (e.g., Japanese stiltgrass, garlic mustard, ground ivy, etc.) and ground-level vines (e.g., Japanese honeysuckle, Asiatic bittersweet) in a forest setting (survey completed in 2021).
