Aqua-Weed Control, Inc.
is
one of the first companies in Michigan to
specialize in the application of aquatic herbicides and
algaecides. We have the largest fleet of spray boats, vehicles,
and other specialized equipment in mid and southeast Michigan to serve
every conceivable
customer
need from small sub-division ponds to large lakes.
Why
control aquatic plants and algae?
Nuisance
algae can:
- Interfere with
recreational use
- Produce unpleasant
tastes &
odors in water
- Clog filters, pump
inlets and other
equipment
- Create an ideal
breeding site for
mosquitoes
Nuisance
aquatic plants can:
- Multiply very quickly
- Adapt to varying
environmental
conditions
- Choke canals and
restrict water
flow
- Interfere with swimming
&
recreational sports
- Destroy fish habitats
Herbicide applications are planned according to nuisance plant
conditions, the wishes of the property owners through their
representative/s, and according to specifications on the MDEQ permit.
Posting
On the day of the treatment (or the day before) we post
water use restriction signs along the shore of the water
body. These signs inform the homeowners of the herbicides and/or
algaecides being used and the water use restrictions that may apply to
the use of
the water after treatment.
Treatment
We use Carolina
Skiff boats equipped with the latest technology in liquid spray and
granular spreading equipment including GPS technology. We employ
boats ranging in size from 10 ft. for small ponds to over 20 ft. in
length for large lakes.
We apply liquid herbicides to the waters surface and via sub-surface
injection using high pressure pumps and metering
systems. Granular products are spread using operator controlled
and GPS controlled spreaders to ensure even distribution over the
surface of the lake.
All Aqua-Weed Control employees who
perform
treatments are certified by the Michigan Department of
Agriculture.
