Why Foamstream?
Many public and private organisations around the world use our Foamstream, developed by Weedingtech, to help protect their communities, employees and the environment. Safe, cost-effective and multi-functional, it has become the leading herbicide-free solution for managing outside spaces.
Our patented Foamstream technology is the leading herbicide-free solution, setting Weedingtech apart from its competitors.
How Our Technology Works
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 and that it covers the plant for long enough to kill or severely damage it.
Optional lances mean Foamstream can be used for more than just weed control. Designed for chewing gum removal, power washing and general sanitisation jobs, it is a highly effective, all-round, outdoor management system.

“Since using Foamstream, we’ve cut down on the health and safety issues associated with strimming and laborious methods such as hand weeding. It’s changed the way that we weed hard surfaces, soft surfaces and playgrounds and we don’t have to use herbicides.
It’s clean and easy to use and allows us to properly allocate labour, which has helped to save 75% of our time compared to using previous methods of weed control.”
Terry Burns
Senior Contact Manager, idverde
“We used it (Foamstream) 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.”
Rob Gagen
Supervisor, Park Operations, City of Pickering
“Foamstream was by far the best herbicide-free solution we tried. It’s very safe to use in public areas. There’s no need to barrier off treated areas, and we don’t have to worry about working close to water courses, or about using the system in public areas – even around curious children or dogs.”

Parks and Open Spaces Officer, Vale of Glamorgan Council (UK)

Benefits of Foamstream
Patented Foam
Our foam is made from natural plant oils and sugars making it safe for use around people, animals and delicate environments.
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.
Cost Effectiveness
By combining the most effective method, the fewest treatment cycles per year and the ability to sterilise seeds and spores, Foamstream has the lowest cost of ownership and operating costs in the alternative herbicide-free space.
Because it can be used for more than just weed control, the initial Foamstream cost in the long run is a cost-effective investment for organisations.
A greener solutions for organisations looking for an eco-friendly weed control method
Weeds are an inevitable part of green space preservation, making weed-killers necessary. Countries and local authorities across the globe are moving fast to take the step to ban herbicides in response to growing public, environmental and legislative pressure. Herbicide-free methods of weed control are becoming popular with changes of glyphosate legislation, and so solutions like Foamstream are a viable, long-term alternative.
As it’s herbicide-free, Foamstream is safe to use around people and animals. When you switch to Foamstream you are prioritising biodiversity, and are safe in the knowledge that it won’t disrupt the surrounding habitat or wildlife.
Foamstream is designed to be used in any weather and can be used for many different applications.
