Aquatic Weed Control

 

Although aquatic plants can provide good cover for sport fish, they can also become a nuisance, particularly in a pond or small lake.  Louisiana and Mississippi are plagued by exotic and invasive species—such as water hyacinth, hydrilla, and salvinia—that will take over a pond if left unchecked.  Once coverage of a lake exceeds 40%, the ability of bass to capture prey becomes impaired.  Fish growth rates decline, stunting occurs, and fishing becomes difficult.

Professional Fisheries Services is fully licensed for aquatic weed control in Louisiana and Mississippi, and we only use EPA-registered pesticides labeled for aquatic use.  Our spray equipment can handle a wide range of jobs, and consists of everything from backpack sprayers to 2-inch pumps.  Our boats are powered by outboards and by air-cooled, shallow-water engines, which allow them to operate in areas conventional boats can't reach.
