Spot Treating Duckweed Won’t Work

One commonly occurring pest of ponds is duckweed.  Duckweed, sometimes referred to as water lentils appear as tiny aquatic plants that float on or just beneath the surface of slow-moving fresh water bodies, such as ponds.  Individually duckweed plants are a very small problem; they are only the size of a kidney bean.  Unfortunately duckweed grows in large groups and can quickly overtake a beautiful pond.  With that said, it is impossible to simply spot treat duckweed. 

Once a duckweed infestation has started, it is impossible to tell exactly where the duckweed is growing.  It may be visible in certain spots, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t growing in other areas as well.  The only way to really ensure that all duckweed is being taken care of is by treating the entire pond.  This may seem like a daunting task, but Sanco Industries has designed a product specifically for treating duckweed.  Tsunami DQ is a strong pest destroyer that has been tweaked to take care of surface weeds such as duckweed.  At the rate of 2 gallons per acre you duckweed won’t stand a chance.  By using Tsunami DQ to treat an entire pond, owners can have the peace of mind that no pesky duckweed will be ruining the beauty of the pond.
