The Weedo is a dedicated machine for moss and weed removal. This video shows the Kersten Weedo cleaning a build up of detritus after many years of poor maintenance.
The advanced hydraulic drive wire brush efficiently removes the offending weeds and the detritus it grows in from the surface. The implement can be adjusted in any direction to allow easy cleaning of undulating surfaces.

The position of the head allows easy removal of weeds around buildings or along kerb edges and a mix of brushes give a clean finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, you don’t need to burn the target weed for the device to be effective. The electricity generates heat that boils the weeds from the inside out, destroying the plant’s structure. While you won’t see immediate results, you may hear a ‘pop’ sound indicating that the plant is being boiled. The plant will appear to be decaying, and eventually dry out and decompose within two weeks.

Yes, the electric weeder does require special training to operate. Most products need operators to undergo annual certified application training. This training covers how to use the latest models and includes important safety protocols, especially for operating in public areas.

Targeted Application: Electric weed control, especially with products like those from Kersten and Zasso, allows for precise application. The  Zasso Zap Weeder has electrodes closer together, making it ideal for shallower-rooted plants on hard surfaces.

Electric weed control uses electricity to generate heat, which can reach temperatures up to 100°C. When this heat is applied to plants, it disrupts their chlorophyll, leading to its degradation. Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, and temperatures as low as 45-50°C can cause it to start breaking down. At temperatures around 70°C or higher, the plant’s ability to conduct photosynthesis is severely impaired. Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis, and when it is damaged by heat, the plant loses its ability to convert sunlight into energy. As a result, the plant cannot produce food, and it eventually dies.
