For years we have been utilizing bacteria products to control the algae as well as standard herbicides. Give our office a call to schedule a site review.

LAKES AND PONDS WEED AND ALGAE CONTROL

Recreation has become an essential part of our way of life. Our lakes and streams are important in supplying this recreational need. Severe nuisances due to excessive weed and algae growths in lakes, ponds, and channels may strain our recreational habitats, lower property values, and jeopardize fish population. You cannot approach the problem of aquatic weeds and algae without years of experience and knowledge of proper control methods. Controlling algae depends on the time of the treatment, the correct amount of algaecide to apply, and the proper distribution of the chemical over a given area. We at Scientific Aquatic Weed Control are the best equipped to handle any scenario or problem thrown our way.  

FOUNTAINS

Fountains offer spectacular displays and provide impressive aesthetic beauty in small/large lakes or ponds, keep water healthy and clear, provide peaceful appearances for owners, make a grand welcome at entrances and can be dramatic at night. Fountains introduce oxygen and create water circulation which leaves the area with fresh oxygen for fish and the water free from odors and algae.

SHORELINE STABILIZATION

Scientific Aqautic Weed Control, Inc is also an expert in providing shoreline stabilization. We install rip rap, pilings, and other stabilization devices from the water side doing minimal damage to the landscape.

"The herbicides we use are formulated for aquatic weed control. Your lake will be clean and beautiful. The fish will not be harmed by the herbicides and the fishing will be improved."

"Aquatic plants play an important role in lake, pond, and reservoir ecosystems. They become weeds when there are too many of them or when the lake or pond is infested with the 'wrong' kind of plants."
