japanese knotweed and how they have managed to get rid of the weed.

Do a Google search under 'Japanese knotweed' or 'Polygonum
cuspidatum'. As this is one of the most pernicious of invasive weeds
and very widespread in its occurrence, you'll find dozens of sites
remarking on it and offering means of control. Eradication is
difficult and requires repeated efforts. Do not expect this to be
easily resolved in a single season. And if it is on neighboring
properties, it's going to have to be a joint effort.
