Clean lake with effective weed removal tools Lake and pond owners finally have a hassle-free way of removing unwanted aquatic plants. The proliferation of these pests make it difficult for aquatic animals to source out food and light, which leads to a decline in production. These aquatic weeds are just one of the many problems that lake and pond owners have to deal with.
Aquatic Plants Not all aquatic plants are wanted. As a matter of fact, these aquatic plants are the primary source of cover and food of both aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. However, when these aquatic plants make it difficult for humans to enjoy activities like fishing, swimming and boating, or when they grow up to a number that’s difficult to maintain, they become classified as unwanted aquatic plants. Some examples of unwanted aquatic plants are cattail, milfoil, hydrilla, water hyacinth, lily pads, and weeds.
Solutions to Aquatic Issues Private lake and pond owners have tried different methods of weed control and weed removal. One of the basic methods is manual weeding. This method is effective, but it takes an awfully long period of time to finish since the weeds have to be pulled out one by one. These weeds also grow in the deeper parts of the lake or pond so people need to dive in order to get rid of them. The murky waters make it hard to see underwater, which adds up to the difficulty level of the method. Another attempt to remove the aquatic weeds required harvesting them by using an aquatic harvester. It was eventually ruled out as an ineffective weed removal method because it’s hard to move the equipment around the lake or pond since its heavy. The chemicals used to harvest also did more harm than good to the aquatic plants and animals.
Some companies came up with aquatic herbicides that owners can spray or sprinkle on the lakes or ponds. Unfortunately, these chemical-loaded aquatic herbicides only caused more deaths among aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. Moreover, these aquatic herbicides didn’t get the job done.
An Easier and More Effective Alternative A San Marcos, Texas-based company came up with tools to make every lake or pond owner’s life easier. The Jenson Rake and the Jenson Lake Mower are weed removal tools that are lightweight, easy-to-use, and effective weed removal tools with long-lasting results. The Jenson Lake Mower and the Jenson Rake also make use of zero chemicals which means good news for all of the aquatic and semi-aquatic plants and animals.
Weed control for lakes is a breeze since owners are not confined to just cut and trim on just one area. They can attach the tools to the side of a mini boat and move around the pond or lake as the aquatic weeds removed individually underwater. These weed mowers can extend up to seven feet, making it easier to get rid of weeds in those areas. The best part is, with these tools, there’s a high possibility that aquatic weeds won’t be returning anytime soon.
