A Weed By Any Other Name

Sometimes an innocent, even pleasant looking aquatic plant can be the most threatening. Take the beautiful, large purple and violet flowers of the South American water hyacinth. While its appearance makes it a very popular ornamental plant, it is one of the worst aquatic weeds in the world according to the IUCN (The World Conservation Union - www.iucn.org) and has inflicted enormous environmental and economic damage around the world.

NaturChem has the professional knowledge and expertise to help you identify a wide variety of aquatic weeds and eradicate them. NaturChem also has the necessary equipment and herbicides to safely control vegetation in your lakes, ponds or canals.

Aquatic Weed Management
Many different aquatic plants can be found in, on and around ponds. These plants range from microscopic organisms know as plankton algae which drift suspended in the water, to larger plants which root themselves to the bottom of the pond. Certain types of aquatic plants are actually helpful for fish production. However, aquatic plants that interfere with the balance of nature in a pond are considered to be weeds.

NaturChem utilizes air boats, flotation tracked vehicles or conventional boats to access lakes, ponds and shallow areas. All applications are made with aquatic herbicides that are highly effective, precisely metered, safe for aquatic life and, most importantly, environmentally sound.

Storm Water Management
When caring for storm water management areas, important factors include proper vegetation maintenance, structure, public safety, water quality, downstream effects and aesthetics. NaturChem will evaluate each of these areas for you to customize a program to meet your specific needs.

Not only do we control weeds, vegetation and trash around detention basins and ponds, we also make routine inspections to ensure proper maintenance of these highly sensitive areas, and can handle any repairs as required by governing agencies.

No matter what your aquatic weed management need may be, NaturChem can handle it. We invite you to contact any of our offices for more information. We guarantee results AND your complete satisfaction.
