A weed extraction device for digging, cutting, twisting and pulling out weeds. The weed extraction device includes a rod member from which a handle is formed by bending the rod member. The handle is useful in pushing the device into the ground and to twist the device to twist out the weeds and by which the user can pull the weed from the ground without bending over. The rod member also includes a foot step which is formed by bending the rod member and is useful in pushing the device into ground to the depth of the tap root. Attached permanently to the rod member is the root trap which is a half-cone or hemiconically shaped cutting, coring and compacting portion of the device. The root trap is useful to dig into the ground, cut a cone shaped plug, compact the tap root and branch roots and twist out the weed including the tap root which prevents the root from ever growing again. The cutting teeth of the root trap on the leading edge of the root trap cut the branch roots and free the branch roots from attachment to the soil. The twisting action of the handle, rod member and the root trap results in the twisting free of the weed. The device is used to pull the weed out of the ground from the standing, upright position with little effort or back-strain.
