Weed Steaming
Envirogain offers a chemical free weed control solution, as used by councils around Australia.
We can safely spray weeds around
- Schools
- Playgrounds
- Public spaces in all types of weather
- Organic farms
- Sensitive Environmental sites
How it works:
- There are no herbicides used, just water
- The water is delivered at the applicator head at 100°c temperature, to cook the weeds.
- Only the weeds under the applicator head are exposed to the heat and are affected. There is no unintended off-target damage.
- There is no spray drift.
- It is safe for both the operator and the public.
The Benefits:
- It is safe for both the operator and the public.
- Safe around schools, playgrounds and pets
- No herbicide resistance
- No off-target damage
- No spray drift
- No waterway run-off
Results time:
- The weeds are affected immediately upon treatment.
- The leaves collapse, and rapid breakdown of the plant occurs within 2 days
- Within days they have browned off and the weed nutrients returned to the soil.
Optimum treatment time:
- The smaller the weeds are the better. You need to “cook” the crown of the plant close to the ground.
- Taller weeds can be slashed first and then treated.
- Weeds can also be treated on windy days as there is no drift or smell. Weeds can also be treated effectively if it is showery or even raining!
