What is Poison Hemlock?

Poison hemlock (Conium maculatum) is a highly invasive plant species that can be found in various parts of British Columbia, including Sidney. This biennial plant is characterized by its distinctive, fern-like foliage and produces small, white flowers. Poison hemlock is a member of the carrot family and can grow up to 2 meters tall, making it a formidable opponent in any garden or yard.

Why is Poison Hemlock Removal Essential?

Poison hemlock is a toxic plant that can cause serious health issues, including respiratory problems, skin irritation, and even death. It's essential to remove this invasive species from your property to prevent harm to yourself, your family, and your pets. Moreover, poison hemlock can spread quickly, outcompeting native plants and altering the ecosystem.
