For moss, our clients say it is more effective than herbicide – in most cases needing just one application per year. […]
What are the benefits of Foamstream over hot water systems?
Foamstream is the most cost-effective solution on the herbicide-free market. Why? Up to 50% fewer treatments are needed per year compared to hot water systems Sterilises surrounding seeds and spores – reducing regrowth year-on-year Can be used in all weather – eliminating costly downtime No addition of strong decalcifying chemicals commonly found in hot water […]
Why is hot foam (Foamstream) more effective than hot water?
The active ingredient in Foamstream is the heat from the hot water. The foam insulates the hot water, ensuring the heat is not lost to the atmosphere. This ensures the heat covers the plant for long enough for it to kill or severely damage the plant. When using hot water systems, the heat from the […]
What is Foamstream made of?
