CattBite | Enhance Removal of Cattails

Introducing CattBite, a powerful adjuvant that helps with the treatment of cattails, bulrush, and other similar plants. CattBite is designed to enhance the penetration and effectiveness of herbicides, while also speeding up the breakdown of dead plant material from the inside out.

Main benefits of using CattBite alongside herbicides for killing cattails:

• Faster and deeper herbicide penetration
• Reduces overall chemical use
• Collapses cattails more quickly
• Amplifies natural decay
• Enhances safety for applicators and the environment

CattBite must be tank-mixed with an aquatic herbicide (such as AquaMaster, glyphosate, imazamox, imazapyr, etc.) to be effective. It does not kill cattails on its own .

CattBite is the perfect addition to any aquatic herbicide treatment, particularly when applied during mid to late summer when the cattails are in full bloom. This combination helps to quickly collapse the plants and continue the degradation process of the dead material. It's important to note that CattBite does not harm any other aquatic plants or algae.

CattBite is ideal for use in lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, wetlands, canals, golf courses, retention ponds, stormwater basins, and more. By using CattBite, you'll enjoy benefits such as speeding up chemical reactions, collapsing dead cattails, amplifying natural decomposition, and keeping the environment and applicators safe.

Commonly treated aquatic plants with CattBite include cattails, bulrush, and giant reed. Try CattBite today and experience the powerful benefits for yourself! CattBite comes in one gallon bottles.

NOTE: CattBite is only effective when used with an herbicide. It does not kill cattails.

CattBite – Q&A

When is the ideal time to apply CattBite for cattail control?
Mid to late summer is optimal—this coincides with cattails being in full bloom and most vulnerable to treatment, maximizing absorption and breakdown .

Will CattBite harm non-target plants, wildlife, or waterbirds?
No—when used properly with herbicide, CattBite is designed to be environmentally safe and does not harm non-target flora, fish, waterfowl, or pets .

How quickly will the cattails collapse after treatment?
You can expect treated cattails to wilt and collapse within days after application, thanks to CattBite boosting herbicide uptake and internal decomposition .

Can CattBite be used in different types of aquatic environments?
Yes—it's approved for use in lakes, ponds, wetlands, rivers, streams, canals, golf course ponds, retention basins, and stormwater areas .

Is it compatible with peroxide-based algaecides?
No—do not mix CattBite with peroxide-based algaecides; always use it with a compatible herbicide .

How long does CattBite remain effective after mixing?
For best performance, apply your herbicide+CattBite mix promptly and don’t exceed recommended re-entry intervals from the herbicide label. CattBite boosts uptake immediately but doesn’t extend herbicide persistence .

How does CattBite Biocatalyst work to improve cattail treatment?
CattBite is a specialized adjuvant formulated to enhance the penetration and effectiveness of herbicides on cattails, bulrush, and similar emergent plants. It not only accelerates chemical uptake by the plant but also speeds the breakdown of dead plant tissue from the inside out 

Do I need to mix CattBite with an herbicide to make it work?
Yes—CattBite must be tank-mixed with an aquatic herbicide (such as AquaMaster, glyphosate, imazamox, imazapyr, etc.) to be effective. It does not kill cattails on its own.

What are the recommended mix ratios for different treatment volumes?
For best results, mix 16 oz of CattBite per gallon of herbicide solution—or use scaled rates: 12–16 oz per 1000 ft², 2–3 gal per 0.5 acre, and 4–6 gal per acre, per the product label .
