WEED AND MOSS CONTROL

Foamstream is a fantastic solution for organisations looking for a sustainable, cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution to manage their outside spaces.

Changes in legislation and public opinion on glyphosate has increased the need for herbicide-free methods of weed control. Foamstream has become the leading herbicide-free solution for managing outside spaces and is used by organisations around the world.

Foamstream effectively controls unwanted vegetation by using the heat in hot water, insulated by a biodegradable foam blanket. The foam stops the heat from escaping to the atmosphere, keeping the heat on the plant for longer, ensuring a more effective kill than other alternative methods of commercial weed killer.

Being herbicide-free makes it perfect for use around people, in busy areas such as educational establishments and tourism spots. Having a herbicide-free solution in your product portfolio is appealing to environmentally-conscious clients, as well as reducing the operators’ exposure to chemicals. Foamstream also requires fewer treatment cycles per year compared to other herbicide-free methods, saving on time and labour costs. An environmentally-friendly, organic solution to keep built environments and recreational green spaces weed-free, clean and safe for the healthy enjoyment and care of all.

WHAT FOAMSTREAM CAN BE USED FOR

Weed Control

Foamstream provides the most effective way of killing vegetation. Fewer treatment cycles are needed per year compared to any other alternative thermal method of weed control. This means less labour is required over the course of the year, reducing overhead costs.

In addition to killing the plant, Foamstream also sterilises surrounding seeds and spores that haven’t yet germinated, reducing regrowth. Safe to use in public areas, on utility sites, or in any space which requires an eco-friendly method of treatment, it poses no threat to people, animals or the environment.

Moss and algae control

Unlike most plants, moss roots sit on the top of the plant. Foamstream is applied directly to the plant, killing the moss and inhibiting its regrowth. Using Foamstream on moss and algae is as effective as herbicide alternatives and will eradicate the plant with just one treatment per year. This makes Foamstream a fantastic method for environments such as water utility sites, reducing slip and trip hazards and making pathways safer for staff and visitors.

An all-weather solution

Foamstream can be used on all surfaces, in all weather, all year round. It is suitable for use on soft and porous surfaces such as historical monuments, and hard surfaces such as street furniture, signage, bins and benches. It can also be used on artificial surfaces such as sports tracks and astro turf.

People friendly

A lot of weed control takes place in public areas such as parks and gardens. Naturally, organisations will want to ensure they keep the public safe while they are working. As Foamstream is herbicide-free it is safe to use around people and so can even be used in busy areas such as high streets and school grounds.

Animal friendly

Due to Foamstream’s herbicide-free nature it can also be used safely around animals. That means our green solution can be used everywhere from dog parks to zoos and farming land.

A GREEN SOLUTION THAT BENEFITS ALL

Many of our clients across the globe have found that Foamstream has even more benefits than they expected. Local authorities have received positive public engagement as a result of reducing their use of herbicides, as well as feedback from their operators who feel safer whilst using Foamstream than other methods of weed control.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Rob Gagen

Supervisor, Park Operations, City of Pickering

“We purchased a Foamstream M1200 in the spring of 2018. We used it through the season and found that the weed kill results we got were better than when using green, class 11 pesticides and its use doesn’t require advanced sign posting like a pesticide. From field observations, the Foamstream treated weeds did not regrow as quickly as the pesticide treated ones and new seeds did not tend to germinate after application. This unit is easy to use and has increased our efficiency in weed management.”

Mark Tavener

Contract Manager, G Burley – part of the TCL Group

“We love the Foamstream technology here at Burleys. Having tried so many other different methods of weed control, Foamstream for Burleys is an outright winner and I would thoroughly recommend it to any of our clients, or indeed any other businesses that are thinking of going into an alternative weed control.”

Nick Boffemmyer

Senior Groundsman

“Foamstream has been the feather in our cap. I am so happy to have it as part of our grounds maintenance solution. It’s saved us time and is just as effective as herbicide, but comes with none of the safety worries.”

Mattias Hoffling

President, E-trädgård

“Working with Weedingtech through Jordelit has been a real eye opener; not only are they a joy to work with but Foamstream and the MW- Series product has worked brilliantly and has delivered better results for us than anything else we’ve tried in the past. Furthermore, the Weedingtech team provides excellent after-sales support. We couldn’t be without Weedingtech’s system. It’s quite clear that the treatment cycles required are far fewer than other methods like hot water and we look forward to seeing what it can continue to do for us in the future.”
