Plant & Algae Management

Ready Scout specializes in the safe and responsible use of aquatic herbicides and algaecides, and nutrient inactivation products to help you be good stewards of your lake’s ecosystem and your lake community. The firm’s owner has been awarded Applicator of the Year by SePRO Corp., and is a ‘PRO Certified ProcellaCOR Specialist’.

The use of herbicides, algaecides and nutrient inactivants (alum, phoslock, Eutrosorb) in lakes requires more than a license. They require an understanding of lake ecology and morphology, species identification, product specifications and behaviors and technical expertise.  Ready Scout combines all these skills to recommend and guide lakes through cost effective and environmentally sound projects to improve lake conditions.
