Importance of Pond Weed Identification

18 Mar 2013

With so many products on the market that destroy pond weeds and algae it is easy to see something that is unwanted in a pond and think that one of those random products will do the job.  Unfortunately that is not the case and once random products start getting thrown into pond water nothing is being taken care of.  The most important step to getting rid of a weed or some kind of algae is to know exactly what kind of growth it is so it can be properly treated.  Sanco Industries has products that will deal with basically every kind of pest, but it needs to be the right product for the right pest.

Some people don’t realize that just dumping random weed killers on random weeds actually doesn’t help the situation at all.  At that point nothing is being done to better the situation.  Once a weed is properly identified then it can be dealt with.  Crystal Plex, one product offered by Sanco Industries is specifically formulated to eliminate certain kinds of algae and leaves ponds looking great year round.  Other products such as Tsunami DQ and Catt Plex are specifically formulated to deal with other kinds of invasive species to ponds.  Tsunami DQ is most effective against duckweed and American Pondweed.  Catt Plex works best when being applied to cattails and other emerged aquatic weeds.  The point is that without knowing what kind of weed is trying to be destroyed it is difficult to get the most effective product against that weed.
