Algaecide & Herbicide Products

We have many products available for treating common nuisances such as:  cattails, sago-pondweed, filamentous algae (pond scum), and milfoil.  Liquid and granule formulations are available in most products.

Natural Enzyme and Bacteria Products

Our specialty bacteria and enzyme products can significantly improve water quality parameters and reduce nuisance algae growth, organic sediment build-up, and pond odors.  Bacteria and enzyme products are one of our most successful pond management tools!

The most commonly used method of controlling vegetation is the application of chemical herbicides and algaecides.

 If herbicide and/or algaecide application is recommended for reducing excessive aquatic plant and algae growth, proper identification of the nuisance weed assures the correct product for appropriate control.  In Wisconsin, chemical use permits are required for all herbicide/algaecide applications or you must have in place a current Type 1 or Type II fish farm license.  To obtain the required permit please contact the Department of Agriculture at (608) 224-4887 for a fish farm license or follow the link on this page to the Department's website.
