Lily Pad Ripper | Lily Pad Removal Tool & Lily Pad Root Puller
The only sure way to kill lily pads is to break their roots enough to drown them. When the Lily Pad Ripper is pulled along the bottom of your lake it digs deep into the bottom and literally rips open and tears through the rhizome root system. The Lily Pad Ripper can be pulled by boat or from land using an ATV or Tractor. It is attached to your "pulling method" of choice via rope, tied to a 1.5" by 6' pipe. (Rope & Pipe are not included but can be purchases from most hardware stores) and is pulled along the bottom, in turn breaking and pulling up the roots of lily pads. Larger, heavier boats tend to work best for this.
After breaking the root system it will flood the interior of the rhizome in the portion that remains in the water killing any water lily / pad that is attached. Some of the rhizomes will float to the surface and some will remain on the bottom.
If you are looking for a lily pad ripper for sale, this heavy-duty lily pad removal tool is designed to attack the problem below the surface by ripping through lily pad roots and rhizomes. Unlike simply cutting the leaves at the surface, this lily pad root puller is built for more complete lily pad removal.
Customers sometimes search for this type of tool as a lilly pad ripper or mechanical lily pad killer. The goal is the same: break apart the underground root structure so the plant can no longer continue growing normally.

How to Use
How to Get Rid of Lily Pads with the Lily Pad Ripper
If you are researching how to get rid of lily pads in a lake or pond, the Lily Pad Ripper is designed to remove the plant by tearing through the rhizome and root system below the bottom.
The Weeders Digest offers many tools to "manage" your lily pads. Our Lily Pad Ripper is a one-of-a-kind tool designed to REMOVE lily pads and rhizomes once and for all!
Simply connect the Lily Pad Ripper to boat by using your own rope, tied to a 1.5" by 6' pipe. (Rope & Pipe are not included but can be purchases from most hardware stores)
Once you are all rigged up and ready to go lower the Lily Pad Ripper down to the bottom of the lake or pond and inch forward slowly until the rope becomes tight. Once the rope is tight, it is important to apply steady forward momentum until the Ripper rips through the root and continue on in a straight line popping each root as you move forward.
Next, return to the beginning spot and move over 7' to begin the next ripping path and complete the same ripping motion as in the previous step.
Once you have completed 2 parallel rips, you will see the pads in their entirety, i.e.; pads stems and roots, pop to the surface for easy removal with one of our aquatic weed rakes like Rake Zilla or the Long Reach Rake. Remember, thorough clean up is the responsible way to manage your waterfront.

The Death of Our Lilly Pads!!,
Our poor little pond was being overrun with lily pads. After trying a chemical treatment on half of the pond, this seemed to only anger the pads who lashed back at us with growing numbers. Further research led us to the lily pad ripper. The lily pad ripper was shipped quickly. Although the directions were not very clear, it was simple enough to figure out. We did attach the board as suggested in a YouTube video and the 1.5” diameter pole. However, we are no where near strong enough to pull this thing by hand. We hooked this baby up to our tractor. My husband rows out with the ripper in the boat with him, throws it over and then I haul it in. This thing slashes through the pads and rips up the roots! Excitment for us! The ripper is heavy, but for the job it must do, it is a well built tool. We have already noticed some of the pads still in the pond turning brown. Death to the lily pads.

First use; trophy roots
Works as advertised. We used a 900 pound boat winch on shore to pull the ripper in which seemed to work well. It is very gratifying to get a few trophy roots after battling the lily pads with a cutter for many years. It is a lot of work hauling the ripper around, removing the muck and positioning the ripper by pedal boat but it got results.
