Save Lake Chatuge UPDATE

Aqua Services will be doing another treatment for Parrot Feather on Wednesday, June 19. See map for treatment area. Please remember that there is a recommended 3 day lake water irrigation restriction to broadleaf plants as a precaution.

Below is additional information taken from a FB response by Aqua Services to a comment:

“This product, as mentioned by many others, works at very, very small levels. There are no swimming, fishing, or potable drinking restrictions. These EPA approved aquatic herbicides go through rigorous testing over many, many years. And, this product, degrades and dilutes in a matter of hours in this scenario. And, keep in mind, these products only target specific physiological processes in plants, not animals. I hope this helps some and I am happy to answer any questions you may have. If you would like to please DM me and we can swap contact info. Please have a blessed evening and blessed weekend. And just to reiterate some of this, here are a few points about the product of choice.

ProcellaCOR is an EPA reduced risk chemistry

Low use rate

Labeled for use in drinking water reservoirs

Safe to aquatic environment, fish wildlife and humans

ProcellaCOR aquatic herbicide selectively targets invasive aquatics weeds, such as milfoil, hydrilla, primrose and others. It is a very selective herbicide…not all species are controlled, such as many native grasses and pondweeds

ProcellaCOR attacks a specific receptor protein only found in plants (not animals or humans). Think of ProcellaCOR like a key that fits a specific lock.

Once absorbed by susceptible plants it kills the plant and root system of these weeds (long-lasting control, i.e. systemic).

Once ProcellaCOR it does it’s job with target weeds, it rapidly degrades in the water and is gone within hours/days.”
