The Garden HotZot

Because Weeds Never Sleep

Ever wanted to point at a weed,

push a button and kill it?

Kill weeds organically, safely, and quickly with the Garden HotZot

The Garden HotZot is the first point-and-shoot sprayer that kills weeds organically.  Just point the wand at the weed, push the button and kill the weed with a scalding jet of 200F water.  You can easily kill up to 300 weeds per hour.

Weeds Never Sleep

Weeding is a never ending chore and until now your options have been pulling by hand or using hazardous chemicals.
The Garden HotZot gives you a 3rd option – boil them in the ground with jets of hot water.

The Gift of Time

Kill weeds safely and easily in half the time with half the effort. Spend more time enjoying your garden and less time on your hands and knees.

The Problem

Toxic Herbicides


With a half-life of up to 6 months, toxic herbicides continue to affect our health long after their application. Whether in our parks and schools or homes and gardens, the damage done by residential use of glyphosates doesn’t stop with the death of the weed. Over the next week toddlers will crawl, pets will chase balls, children will play tag on the lawn and flowers and produce will be brought into the house. With residential glyphosate use at over 50,000 tons/year and municipal use many times greater, individual gardeners as well as entire cities and states are looking for safe, effective alternatives.

Now there is an option to toxic herbicides

The Solution

The HotZot shoots needle thin jets of boiling hot water at the crown of the plant literally cooking it while it is in the ground.

What Makes the Garden HotZot Different?

THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM – Unless you kill the root, the weed will just regrow.  Because the heat from the HotZot is concentrated at the crown and penetrates below ground, the weed’s root is severely damaged and regeneration is less likely.  Steamers and torches cannot do this – their heat does not penetrate the surface of the soil.

THE APPLICATION ZONE – Steamers and torches leave a large zone of destruction and torches cannot be used around flammable material (dry conifer needles, dry grass, wood chips, etc.) because of the fire danger. The Garden HotZot avoids these limitations by using needle thin jets of scalding water which have a kill zone the size of a dime allowing you to kill the weed without harming the surrounding plants.

EASE OF USE – The Garden HotZot only requires only an electrical extension cord and a water source and you’re ready to go.

EFFECTIVENESS – The HotZot is 85% effective on small to medium size weeds. Weeds taller than 1 foot can be killed with the HotZot but you’ll still have a dead 1 foot tall weed in your yard. Better to pull it and then shoot it as it tries to return.

NOTE – Weeds such as blackberries, ivy, morning glory (field bindweed), etc. propagate by runners.   Killing a single runner will have no effect on weeds such as these.

Our Story

Our Grandmothers knew how to kill weeds – after making tea, take the hot water kettle and pour it out on the weeds. With the Garden HotZot (patent #9,681,653) we have created a convenient portable applicator to provide you with an endless “hot water kettle”.  It is easy to use, fast and safe for your family and the environment.

Connect the Garden HotZot to a water source and an extension cord and you’re ready!  Normal sized weeds (like the dandelion in the previous page) take about 10 seconds to kill – so killing up to 300 weeds/hour is easy.  Because the jet of hot water is pressurized it quickly destroys the crown and top of the root and discourages regeneration.

Where can you buy the Garden HotZot?  You can’t – yet.  We will start limited production in Fall of 2018.

Cost – we anticipate that the HotZot will start out at under $120 plus shipping.
