Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants controlling milfoil

Grass carp aren't overly fond of milfoil and probably won't bring the infestation under control on their own. However, if your lake meets "containment" requirements for a grass carp permit, you may be able to effectively use them to keep the milfoil heavily suppressed AFTER bringing the problem under control with a single herbicide treatment. I dealt with a similar situation right down the road from you (near Mineola) a few years ago. You may wish to contact that lake's HOA representative to verify their experience with this approach. Email or call me for more details and the contact's name & ph#. KD
