Herbicides and algaecides have their place in lake and pond management; however they need to be used responsibly. There are many species of plants and algae, each requiring specific products and concentrations for proper control. Services include a professional examination of the site by a degreed biologist to determine the type and extent of the problem vegetation. We work closely with government agency personnel and manufacturers to remain up-to-date on regulations and current technology. We obtain permits, apply the product, and provide follow-up visitations where necessary. Following each weed and/or algae treatment, customers will receive a treatment record highlighting products used, application rates, and use restrictions.
