Hello..New to forum and would appreciate any advice!! We purchased a home with a small (approx 1/4-1/2 acre) stocked pond winter time 10 years ago. The lily pads that popped up the spring were a surprise but not overly concerning...little did we know!! Of course, now each year they get more and more dense, and are at this point completely covering the pond during high summer. They are yellow lily pads..spatterdock I believe. Over the years we have gotten advice from the DNR and forestry commission without much luck..one recommended grass carp, which we tried, and the other a topical aquatic herbicide that my particular lily pads appeared to laugh at as they continued to spread. This year I started to research eliminating them and thankfully ran across this forum...I am thinking that I should try one of the glyphosate solutions like aquapro with cide kick surfacant. Has anyone had luck with this? Also, I am in Georgia, so they are just starting to rear their nasty heads again...should I start to apply now?
