There are multiple options for controlling Parrot’s Feather:

1. Dibrox (for ponds or lakes) herbicide – liquid that is diluted with water and sprayed right on the plants.
2. Spritflo (for ponds with no outflow) – liquid that is poured into the pond and spreads throughout the entire body of water.
3. 2, 4-D – liquid that is diluted with water and sprayed on the weeds.
4. Aquathol K – liquid that is diluted with water and sprayed on the plants.
5. Hydrothol (for lakes) – granules to be broadcast over the plants.
