  • Continue on with treatments, further streamlining the process

2026 Herbicide Treatment

• Application scheduled for Monday, July 13

• General Treatment Info
  • No restrictions for: drinking, swimming, or fishing
  • Irrigation – 3 day pause after treatment
  • Glenn will provide an all-clear to Teague
  • ProcellaCOR targets Eurasian Milfoil ONLY, no effect to Fanwort; this could potentially leave an opportunity for other plants to move in – native or invasive. Time will tell.
