Airmax Shoreline Defense Aquatic Herbicide

Shoreline Defense Emergent Weed Control works on emergent aquatic weeds, including cattails and phragmites, and other shoreline vegetation. Shoreline Defense Emergent Weed Control kills weeds down to their roots. For best results, apply Shoreline Defense Emergent Weed Control while the chosen weed is in its active growing stage. For cattails, it is best to apply during late summer to early fall.

Reactive treatments such as algaecides, herbicides, and mechanical tools can help control unwanted weeds or algae and are a key step in the Airmax Ecosystem, a simple 3 step approach to pond and lake management. The Airmax Ecosystem is the industry-leading method to achieve a clean, clear, thriving aquatic ecosystem.

When to Use Shoreline Defense

Shoreline Defense should be applied to target weeds while they are actively growing. Once applied, the active ingredients are absorbed by the plant and translocated to the roots, helping to kill the entire plant.

How to Use Shoreline Defense

Mix the desired amount of Shoreline Defense with pond water according to the product label directions. Using a pressurized sprayer, apply the solution directly to the target weeds, thoroughly wetting the foliage. Treated weeds will gradually begin to brown and die. Once the weeds have died, cut and rake away the plant material to help prevent the accumulation of decaying vegetation and pond muck.

State Restrictions
