Do you have aquatic weeds?
Many aquatic herbicides can be labeled for both aquatic and landscape use. Most herbicides labeled for landscape use, like RoundUp, can be harmful to fish and other animals in and around the pond.
Therefore, it is very important to get herbicides labeled for aquatic use if you need to kill weeds in and around your pond. Sanco Industries carries two different concentrated aquatic approved herbicides.
Tsunami DQ is a diquat based aquatic herbicide used to kill floating and underwater weeds like duckweed and coon tail. Tsunami DQ is a contact herbicide that will burn the pond weeds back. This means the product has to make contact with the pond weed and you will have to treat throughout the season to keep the weeds burned back.
CattPlex Pro, the aquatic herbicide formerly known as CattPlex, controls many types of aquatic growth such as cattails, phragmites, thistle, water hyacinth, American pondweed, etc. Though CattPlex Pro and CattPlex are generally comparable, application, dosing, and restrictions will differ. These products are comprised of different active ingredients (CattPlex Pro: Ammonium salt of imazamox, CattPlex: Glyphosate).
