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.
The Walk-Behind Electric Weeder is ideal for use on hard surfaces like driveways, pavements, block paving, and patios. It can effectively remove weeds growing in between cracks or on the surface without damaging the underlying material or cables.
