No Weeds, No Muck, No Labor

Attention Cottage Owners,

Are you experiencing aquatic weeds taking over your shoreline, preventing you from enjoying a refreshing swim or causing your boat propellers to get tangled? This is an increasing problem in most lakes and ponds in the Rideau Lakes area.

There are a few solutions to control lake and pond weeds and seaweed removal without using harmful chemicals or slaving away for hours without removing the actual problem.

The WeedRoller detaches existing weeds and agitates the lake bed, leaving your swimming and docking area free of lake weeds. This prevents more weed growth for a clean, sandy lake bottom and a pleasant swimming area.

Another solution is to take advantage of the Aquatic Weed Harvester Service offered by Seaweed Doctor. Check our website www.seaweeddoctor.com.
