Product Info

We recommend using Imox and RestorationPRO surfactant to effectively control and kill cattails, water lilies, grass, weeds, poison ivy, and woody brush in open areas of ponds and lakes. These systemic cattail and water lily weed killer herbicide products kill both the plant and root; they are excellent for beach areas above the water line. RestorationPRO is used to facilitate spreading and penetration of waxy cattail cuticles. RestorationPRO breaks down the waxy cuticle. This product, a water-soluble liquid, mixes readily with water and non-ionic RestorationPRO to be applied as a foliar spray for the control or destruction of many herbaceous and woody plants. This product moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the root system. Imox is a systemic cattail and water lily weed killer herbicide.

FAQ

What is Imox used for?

Imox is a broad spectrum herbicide for treating emergent vegetation.

What is the active ingredient in Imox herbicide?

The active ingredient is ammonium salt of imazamox.

How to apply Imox herbicide?

Mix Imox with RestorationPRO and water in a sprayer then spray the plants directly from the tops all the way to where they touch the water.

Does Imox need a surfactant?

Yes, surfactant breaks down the waxy cuticle on the plants and helps the Imox stick.

How does Imox compare to Glyphosate?

Imox and glyphosate are both broad spectrum herbicides safe for aquatic use. They contain different active ingredients.

Is Imox safe for fish and wildlife?

Imox is EPA approved for aquatic use. It is safe to use with the fish, frogs, turtles, etc. in the water as well as the animals that come visit.

Will Imox kill the roots?

Yes! Imox is systemic: it is absorbed through the leaves and stems where it is sprayed then moves through the plant down to the root system to kill both the plant and the roots.

When should I apply Imox and RestorationPRO?

The ideal time to apply Imox herbicide paired with RestorationPRO surfactant is late summer to early fall. This way, the plants are mature so there is plenty of space to get the product onto. The plants are getting ready to pull their energies down to the root system which helps pull the herbicide into the roots as well.

When will I see results after applying Imox?

You may start to see some damage in as little as 2 weeks, but you’ll see full results in 4-5 weeks. Cattails may be cut or pulled when they are brown and crispy. Do not pull water lilies.

Our recommendations

How to apply

  • Use with a surfactant, mix products with tap water and evenly spray the entirety of the exposed plants
    • Dilute 2 oz. Imox and 2 oz. surfactant in 1 gallon of water

When to apply

  • Apply in late summer to early fall to get better kill of the root systems. At this time, plants are pulling energy into their roots to store for the winter.
  • Treat when plants are established and actively growing
  • May re-treat 14 days after first application

Other tips

  • Treatment is most effective when the plants are mature or close to full grown. This allows for more plant surface to spray enough mixture on.
  • Extremely cold or cloudy weather following treatment may result in a delay of the visible effects

    I have been using Imox for years for lily pads and cattail control. Product is 100% effective. Follow instructions for applying and you will be not be let down. I live on a 100 acre lake and have referred this product to others and they also are very impressed with results.

  2. Trish Wunderlich (verified owner) –

    This product actually works! Bulrush was taking over our 1-acre pond, and we had tried everything else to clear it safely without harming our fish. We sprayed this in the fall, and by spring, the target weeds were gone while the fish remained completely safe. Customer service was also amazing, giving us clear advice on dosage and application. Highly recommended!

  3. tabarnes1 –

    This product has helped us immensely with the cattails that were over taking the small pond which is an intake pond for our association. Thanks for all the help from the staff. Will be using this again this year to keep the cattails away.
