Aquatic Weed Control - Dealing With Problems Above & Below the Surface
There are so many wonderful benefits of owning and living on a waterfront property. There are also many issues that can come up as well. Letting your lake or pond get out of control with aquatic weeds is at the top of the list. As you’re sitting there enjoying the beauty of your body of water it can be easy to forget what will quickly happen to it all without the proper management of water weeds and vegetation.
The more mature your lake or pond is, the more you’ll have to deal with aquatic weeds. Not only are they unsightly to look at but they can also suck the life out of your waterfront area if action isn’t taken immediately. Different types of aquatic weeds can take residence along your waterfront area. These include weeds above and below the surface.
Submerged aquatic weeds and plants require water to stand up and have an extremely strong root system that is very difficult to pull out. Typically, most of the plant will be submerged in water but can grow to the surface and spread.
Floating weeds, usually found in shallow water, can spread out and completely cover the surface of your lake or pond area, cutting off the light and oxygen to the fish and life below.
Emergent weeds are rooted plants, such as cattails, that grow along the shoreline and rise up above the surface of the water. Emergent plant life may have some of it’s root system in the water but all of the leaves will be above the surface.
Whether it’s a herbicide such as Clipper or a tool such as the Weed Shear, Weeders Digest has the best products and tools for you to combat your lake weed problems.
