Phragmites Control

Lawncare companies and individuals are beginning to control Phragmites.

Benefits to hiring a contractor:

·        Saves time.

·        Produces better results for large infestations.

·        Apply Aquatic Approved Herbicides.

·        Obtain a permit from the Department of Natural Resources to apply herbicide over water.

Check the certification of pesticide applicators at the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection website: http://www.datcp.state.wi.us/arm/agriculture/pest-fert/pesticides/data/ 

DO IT YOURSELF!

Equipment: Get the equipment you need to treat Phragmites from our Equipment Loan Program.

Herbicide: Use Aquatic Approved Herbicides.

Aquatic Approved Herbicide is recommended when treating Phragmites near or around water. A permit from the Department of Natural Resources and use of aquatic approved herbicide is required when using herbicide over water. Certification in Aquatic Herbicide use is required to obtain this permit.

Get Certified in Aquatic Herbicides: Visit the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection for more information about Certification Exams.
