To prevent the spread of noxious weed seed and plant parts to a weed-free area begins with
the removal of contaminated mud and dirt from the undercarriage, tires, and body of heavy equipment,
firefighting vehicles or other objects common in fire camps and logging operations across the nation.
The BKB wash unit, modeled after a design produced by the United States Forest Service,
is an effective tool in decontaminating SUV's, pick-ups, equipment on trailers, or other objects that
potentially pose a hazard in the spreading of harmful seeds into premier areas. This unit
exceeds the minimum specifications that allow the wash unit to thoroughly and adequately free vehicles
and equipment of harmful weeds and plants.

Our commitment toward the protection and preservation of your land's natural resources.
Noxious weed invasion is one of the most serious problems in the United States today threatening
public and private lands, destroying rangelands suitable for livestock, and most importantly,
reducing wildlife habitat and food. Because noxious weeds are undesirable plants that have been
imported from infected areas, they have no natural
biological controls. As a result, they overrun and displace native plant species depriving
them of soil and soil nutrients. The result has a negative impact on the over-all health of
the land and its uses.
What can you do to help fight the war against noxious weed invasion?
Everyone can do their part in weed prevention and detection by remembering these few important
rules.
- Recreate only in established roads, trails, and campsites away from
currently infested areas. Failing to do so, could possibly spread weed seeds via
clothing, camping equipment, or other materials. Worse yet, people who recreate on public or private lands not recognizing noxious weeds
could unknowingly pick the wild flowers and discard them in weed-free areas. If by chance you
are unable to avoid an infested area, carefully remove all weed seeds from clothing, camping gear,
etc before entering a weed-free area.
- When using pack animals in non-infested areas, thoroughly clean coats and hooves and
carry only feed that is certified "weed free".
- Learn about plants and be able to identify ones that are invasive to your area. Do not buy noxious weed
seeds from seed companies or noxious weeds being sold as ornamentals from floral shops. Furthermore,
by recognizing noxious weeds, the proper agency can be contacted when an infestation is found. At that
point, steps can be taken to eradicate or control the weeds.
