Eurasian Watermilfoil

Control Milfoil

Milfoil weed control can be obtained in a variety of ways. There are many types of milfoil weeds, but milfoil treatment remains the same for each.

Manual/ Mechanical Control:

Physically raking milfoil and pulling up the roots can be a somewhat successful way to manage this plant. Milfoil can re-grow from roots or fragments that remain.

Herbicide Control:

There are multiple options for controlling milfoil:

  1. Dibrox 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
