Blue-green algae have been proven to be a the cause of mild nausea to neurological damage to the brains of numerous species throughout an ecosystem.  Property owners with retention ponds, farm ponds, lagoons, and lakes are quickly finding themselves to have to make decisions about how proactive and reactive they can be. 

Limited funding can be one the biggest set backs for HOA’s and property owners as it takes large amounts of funding to catch-up after an outbreak of blue-green algae.

Retention ponds and lakes, unlike detention ponds, do not usually have fencing to limit access like you would see in a neighborhood swimming pool.  This makes most HOA ponds or commercial retention ponds accessible to children and fisherman who are looking for a little fun.

Excessive algae can also cause havoc on a storm water system by clogging and flooding a levy or dam costing tens of thousands of dollars in repairs.

Having a beautiful pond or lake in your neighborhood or backyard is the ultimate dream.  But it takes better management practices and a licensed aquatic herbicide applicator to ensure in a proactive way that the body of water will always be beautiful.  By being less reactive and more proactive, it will be more enjoyable for the community.
