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.

 

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 Common 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, at the appropriate rate, 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.

For submersed weeds 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.

Reliable Spray for Hard-to-Reach Spots and Reapplication
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I picked up this spray specifically to cover the spots I can’t reach with lotion (my back), and it’s been super handy. The spray applies evenly, and while it has a familiar sunscreen scent, it fades quickly. I’ve worked it into my routine for touch-ups, especially on homeward-bound afternoon bike commutes. I keep the can in my bike bag and give everything a quick respray before heading home. It holds up well during activity and gives me solid protection for about two hours, after which I reapply. One thing to note: it does leave a bit of a shiny finish, which is fine for arms and legs, but I skip it on my face during the day because I don’t love the reflective look. That said, if it’s late or I’m not worried about how shiny my face is, it does the job. The SPF 100 is a plus for extended sun exposure, and I like knowing that I’ve got extra coverage when I need it.

Protected my kids through 7 hours of sun and water—no burns at all!
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is the real deal. We spent a full day, about 6 to 7 hours, at a water park under the blazing sun. My kids were running around nonstop, in and out of the water, and we reapplied every 30-45 minutes. Not a single sunburn. Their skin looked exactly the same by the end of the day, no redness, no irritation. Meanwhile, I skipped sunscreen and got absolutely fried. Lesson learned. Goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave a sticky residue, and held up amazingly even with water play. I’ll be buying this on repeat all summer.

Smells great. Tough to remove.
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The smell is great and very nostalgic, but it has a sticky/tacky feel on the skin. It's hard to get off even with a lot of scrubbing with soap and hot water. They weren't joking that it stays on through water and sweat.

A TERRIFIC FIND FOR US IN ECUADOR
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Here in Ecuador, this product isn't even available to us. I have the most precious 20 month old girl living with us and of course I wanted to get a quality product at less cost. This fits the bill. With an SPF 100 rating from a decades old and trusted manufacturer and a price that is less than one third of what I would have to pay for any sort of water resistant equivalent, this was a no brainer. If you buy this product, please read the instructions and follow them. It is a spray product that great care should be used to avoid spraying directly on the face--------- either your own or the child's. Spray it on your hand and apply it to any face that needs it. It's convenient for neck, shoulders, backs and legs due to its spray delivery. Our little 20 month old must be part fish because she loves the thermal pools we take her to and this product seems quite durable
