Weed & Lily Pad Treatment Programs
We employ Aquatic Weed Control for summer weed treatment and fall lily pad treatment programs. A state permit as well as documented owner permission is required.
Weed Treatment
This year, the Michigan DEQ required new permission slips for all previous participants and any new participants for 2019. Because this documentation had to be submitted in early March, it is unlikely we can add any more participants this year. See the additional information below if you would like to be added to the list for 2020.
Payment is due by May 25, 2019. The cost is $210 for lots with 200 feet of frontage or less and $260 for lots with greater than 200 feet of frontage.
Please submit your 2019 payment, by check or money order payable to Aquatic Weed Control, by mail to Friends of the Ribeck Lake Chain, c/o Glenn Marks, 8018 Wildwood Rd., Reading, MI 49274.
Treatment will be performed in mid to late June based on weather conditions.
New to the lake and/or treatment program? As mentioned above, we are probably unable to add any more 2019 participants at this time. We can add more participants in 2020. If you think you might want to treat next year, contact Glenn now for a permission form. There is no cost and no obligation to simply have a signed form on file. Our permit is currently limited to Big and Little Ribeck Lakes, but we can add areas in 2020 if there is interest. The more neighbors who join, the more economical the cost and the better the area-wide weed control.
Lily Pad Treatment
If you currently participate in the Weed Treatment program, your permission is already on file. If you are new and only wish to participate in lily pad treatment, please email us for a Verification of Permission form or download the form from the Helpful Links page.
Treatment is performed in late fall as the lilies begin to go dormant. You are limited to a treatment area of approximately 40 x 40 feet. We have experienced several areas that were treated years ago and never had lily pads return. This is not a guarantee, but we have had good results with the lily pad treatment in the past.
The cost for a 40 x 40 foot treatment area is $200.00. Please submit your payment by check or money order to Aquatic Weed Control at P.O. Box 325, Syracuse, Indiana 46567, along with your Verification of Permission form. The Verification of Permission form can also be downloaded from here from the Helpful Links page. If you need one mailed to you please let Glenn Marks know at 419-708-0090 or [email protected].
Payments and permission forms must be received by August 16, 2019 to allow time for Aquatic Weed Control to secure state permits. Treatment will be performed in mid-to-late September based on weather conditions.
