ecoweed offer a specialist hot water weed control method which is based on using hot water combined with advanced temperature control.
Hot Water Weed Control
Our high temperature machines destroy the cell structure of the plant and kills the upper part at once. After each treatment the plants grow weaker and weaker, until it is eradicated permanently.
Our approach is truly environmentally friendly as there are no chemicals used, just hot water. Using hot water to rid weeds is not a new invention and the first patent was taken out back in the 1880s. However, the hot water weeding method could not be used on a large scale until recent years owing to the inadequacies of the technology.
Thermal weed control is based on transferring energy in the form of heat to the plant, which then distorts the plant's cells. Water is one of nature's best energy carriers and is generally readily available, making the use of hot water the natural choice.
As well as being environmentally friendly and hugely effective, the use of hot water ensures that weed control works are safe and precisely delivered. The low pressure allows for the work to be carried out with precision, whether right up to building façades or a few centimetres away from plants in flowerbeds.
This hugely reduces the risks associated with traditional weed control methods and enables areas affected by weeds to be efficiently treated without damaging the surrounding areas or adjacent plantings.
