Heron Decoys work well as long as they are not placed during mating season and are moved often.

This product is not approved for aquatic use and should not be used under any circumstances for ponds. If you are looking to treat algae or weeds try an aquatic approved chemicals like Algae or Pond Weed Defense. Neither of these products have swimming restrictions though I always reccomend to wait 24 hrs so you are not in direct contact with concentrated chemical.

We can ship to Vermont. Would reccomend Algae Defense for algae pending you do not have koi or trout and Pond Clear and Muck Away to reduce the muck in the pond.

Do algeasides ship to Vermont? If not can you ship to NY or MA? I have close relitives that I could drive to to pick up a delivery.

My pond is a lined pond. I raked most of the muck away from the bank however there is a small amount of muck stuck to the rocks. You can see a pic of my pond at the following website. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5411-74th-Ave-NE-Marysville-WA-98270/38517909_zpid/

Any of the cattail stems that remain in the pond will just continue to break down. It sounds like you removed the majority of the dead debris so now its just a matter of visual satisfaction. In reading the description of your pond, just to be sure are these cattails that you have planted in a lined pond or are they growing freely in an earth bottom? To treat the muck in a pond that size I would use Muck Away or Pond Clear natural bacteria.

I was ecstatic to hear about the company! I’ve been trying to get answers about pond maintence for years. I’m looking forward to a response to my email to schedule an appointment. Based on the various information on this blog, it looks like I found the right company to help me. Thanks!
