Vegetation Management and Mosquito Control:
One of our most frequently asked questions.

Terms and Conditions:

This page covers some of the issues surrounding our treatment options. Please read this if you are considering one of our lake treatments. Chemical and mechanical controls can not take the place of good prevention practices. Nor are they a complete solution on their own. Preventing regrowth by assuring proper fertility, and other management methods is the best practice following treatment.

Price and timing:

In the event that we agree on a price, that price will be effective based on the level of infestation, at the time of the agreement. With invasive aquatic weeds, time is critical. If a week passes, between agreement and treatment, the plants could potentially double in mass! In such cases, the price would reflect this change.

To avoid this dilemma:

As soon as the problem is detected, take action! If treatment is needed, the early detection and early action will save you money.

Contact us quickly to get on the schedule. The faster we can learn of the problem and take appropriate action, the better for you, your lake, and your pocketbook.

Delay your decision as little as possible. While the decision is being made, the weeds will still be growing.

Do not delay the treatment. Delay in treatment, could result in added cost.

Regrowth:

Most chemicals used for submersed aquatic weeds, work by destroying only the plant cells that they contact. Systemic weed killers for submersed plants are extremely limited. Regrowth is a possibility. Most labels recommend re treatment of any regrowth. Extremely dense stands of aquatic weeds may inhibit the chemicals penetration to some of the plants. In such cases, 2 or more treatments are often needed. Management practices that will discourage regrowth should become regular maintenance practices.

Preventing regrowth:

Chemical controls should be done in tandem with other lake management programs. In low fertility lakes where aquatic weeds are a problem, initial treatment should be followed by raising the lakes fertility, to provide proper algae bloom.

If the water has a "secchi" depth of 18 to 24 inches, light will not be able to penetrate to the bottom of areas deeper than 24 inches, thus making regrowth impossible. The best weed control for a lake or pond is to prevent growth of weeds by bringing balance in fertility.

Often, the opposite problem is the case. Ponds or lake with high fertility due to on site or off site runoff can develop weed problems. Vegetative barriers may be needed to slow the flow of nutrients.

Our Guarantee

We guarantee that we will apply the recommended chemicals at the proper label rate and in the prescribed manner. Normally this works well.

In the event that other causes, human, or natural interfere with the proper working of the chemical treatment, we can not be responsible for the outcome.
