Aeration
Lake aeration is the key to maintaining beneficial water quality. We provide two types of systems. Bottom diffuser aeration systems distribute dissolved oxygen uniformly from top to bottom in the water column allowing beneficial bacteria to thrive, This helps lock up nutrients and maintains conditions that limit algae growth. We also carry a complete line of fountain aeration systems in case you want to add a touch of beauty to your lake system. Our biologists can assist you in the selection and installation of this equipment. Contact the office nearest you or visit our web store here.

Fish Stocking

We are the turn key source for obtaining permits, stocking your lakes with this species and management of your populations over time. We also assist with other fish species where desirable.

Waterfowl Management
Waterfowl such as resident Canadian Geese or Coots can have a major impact on your property. They damage turf through their feeding and can leave a considerable mess in their wake. They also contribute significantly to the nutrient levels in your lakes driving aquatic weed and algae growth. Our biologists can assist you in the development of a program to discourage these birds on your property. One key tool is Flightcontrol Plus, a deterrent that is applied to turf in feeding areas.

Mosquito and Vector Control
With the advent of West Nile Virus in our territory management of disease vectors like mosquitoes is key in residential golf communities. Many of the residents are in the age group that is most susceptible to this threat. Our biologists have stocking programs that maintain populations of preditors that feed on mosquito and midge larva. We also deploy a number of biological larvacides that target and prevent the emergence of these species from your ponds and lakes. Call the office closest to you to discuss this with one of our team.

Education
Our biologists regularly contribute their time and talent to provide educational opportunities to golf course superintendents. We speak regularly at regional educational meetings to help superintendents maintain current in this field. We developed the “Lake and Aquatic Plant Management” Seminar for the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America and have had over 2,000 superintendents through this one day course. If you have a need for an educational speaker at an upcoming event, please contact the office nearest you.
