Aquacide Pellets with 2,4-D are a selective, root killing, systemic herbicide. Controls submersed, emersed, and floating weeds. Aquacide Pellets are effective anytime susceptible weeds are actively growing. When applied in spring and early summer, less material is required, less dead weeds occur and a longer weed free period will result. https://www.killlakeweeds.com/products/aquacide-pellets

Aquacide Pellets
Aquacide Pellets with 2,4-D are a selective, root killing, systemic herbicide. Controls
submersed, emersed, and floating weeds. For use in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, bayous,
drainage ditches, non-irrigation canals, rivers and streams that are quiescent or slow
moving. Great around docks, boat hoists, swimming beaches and shorelines.
Easy to Apply.
Marble-size Aquacide Pellets sink directly into the weed bed, visibly expand over a period
of several hours to a day, and stratify a layer of herbicide where the weeds grow. Herbicide
is released slowly in controlled amounts. As weeds grow herbicide is absorbed through
leaves, stems and roots. Herbicide absorption is quite rapid, just a few hours under good
growing conditions. Once absorbed, the herbicide moves throughout the weed to the
growing parts of leaves and roots. Growth at these parts is halted and the weed dies. Kills the entire weed roots and all.
Initial effects occur in 7 to 10 days. Initial effects include brittle stems and curling leaf tips. Under optimum conditions full
weed kill occurs in 3 to 5 weeks. Dead weeds sink to the bottom and decompose.
Aquacide Pellets Application Instructions
Effective on many common weeds.
Aquacide Pellets are effective anytime susceptible weeds are actively growing. When applied in spring and early summer,
less material is required, less dead weeds occur and a longer weed free period will result. Successful applications can be
made in late summer and fall to actively growing weeds. The full effect of late season applications may not be fully
evident until the following season.
Early season applications to perennial weeds, such as Cattails or Water Lilies, while growing below the surface, may
require 3 to 4 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. at a 4 foot depth. A second application may be necessary in 3 to 5 weeks if weeds
show signs of recovery. Heavy clay, mud, or silt build up may reduce root absorption by effectively sealing the roots. Early
season application or more than one application may overcome this problem. Water movement in the form of currents or
bottom springs may wash the herbicide from the treatment site, reducing effectiveness.
The most comprehensive up to date review of 2,4-D is contained in the EPA re-registration eligibility decision for 2,4-D.
This document states; "2,4-D has a reputation as a selective and economical means to remove invasive plants, enhance
the growth and recovery of desirable native vegetation, restore water quality and improve fish and wildlife habitat."
As a rule of thumb Aquacide Pellets will be effective on weeds with leaves that have a laced or branched vein structure.
Aquacide Pellets will usually not be effective on weeds with leaves having parallel veins such as Grasses.
Aquacide Pellets are easy to apply. Nothing to mix or spray. Simply broadcast pellets uniformly over water surface with a
fanning motion of the hand. Similar to sowing grass seed. Effective at any depth.

Tried and True.
Use Aquacide Pellets at a rate of 1.0 to 4.0 ppm active ingredient. This is equivalent to 15 to 60 pounds of Aquacide
Pellets per acre-foot of weed volume, or 5.6 to 22.4 pounds of Aquacide Pellets over 4,000 sq. ft. at a 4 foot average
depth.
For spring to early summer application to new weeds use 1.0 to 2.0 ppm.
For mid-summer to fall applications to mature weeds use 3.0 to 4.0 ppm.
To determine pounds of Aquacide Pellets to use per 1,000 sq. ft.:
(application rate in ppm) x (average depth in feet) x (0.35)
To use 2.0 ppm at an average depth of 4.0 feet:
2.0 x 4.0 x 0.35 = 2.8 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.
Avoid churning water in treatment site for 72 hours following application. This will help insure maximum herbicide is
available for absorption by the weeds.
Water in areas treated with Aquacide Pellets should not be used for irrigation for 21 days. See Water Use Restrictions
(Days)

Though I haven't used my recent purchase of the Aquacide pellets (due to winter), the package I used
last summer worked very well. Looking forward to controlling more of our pond weeds in 2018. I'm not

Aqua code pellets
Opinion
Slow to kill weeds but
sure how long the pellets work (one season or more) but we'll nd out come spring. Thanks for the
excellent service.
Thanks for the feedback. Let us know if questions come up this spring.
These really work to control weeds in our beach area
Always great to hear. Thanks for the business and feedback.
Very happy with the results. Will use again when needed. Awesome product!!!
Thanks for the feedback and the business.
Seems to be working, coontail was so heavy it may take awhile
Coontail tends to grow in a muckier setting than most weeds so it can take a heavy dose and a bit
longer to wipe them out. (3-5 weeks) Thanks for the business.

Slow to kill weeds but will after a couple applications.
They are systemic so it can take time to fully uptake into the root system, especially this time of
year when they are absorbing nutrient so slowly. Thanks for the feedback and your business.
