Product Info

We recommend using both Hydrothol Granular and MuckMaid in your dock and swim area. Buy both products at the same time and SAVE!

Hydrothol provides control where you need it, in the application area, not away from the target area. For this reason, Hydrothol is a valuable tool in improving access to the water for recreational activities such as swimming, fishing, and water skiing. Hydrothol Granular herbicide is quickly absorbed by the plants, allowing for effective aquatic weed control in small areas of large water bodies. Hydrothol is effective in muddy or murky water because it does not bind to the suspended sediment or organic matter. Hydrothol is also an effective algaecide.

MuckMaid’s muck eating bacteria and enzymes consume organic matter, resulting in effective pond and lake beach muck removal in just weeks! MuckMaid pellets will leave you with clear water and a firm sandy bottom to enjoy. MuckMaid is also easy to apply. MuckMaid muck eating pellets digest beach muck and nutrients that enable aquatic plants to grow.

Benefits:

  • Hydrothol is EPA approved
  • Safe for most fish and wildlife
  • No swimming, fishing, or irrigation restrictions
  • Simple application
  • Results in just 17-21 days
  • Lake Restoration Product Guarantee for EPA approved products

FAQ

What are these products used for?

Hydrothol weed killer for lakes will kill floating and submerged weeds plus some algae. MuckMaid will eat the inches of muck at the bottom of your water and make your dock area usable again.

What are the active ingredients?

  • Hydrothol: salt of endothall
  • MuckMaid: beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and trace minerals

How do you apply these lake weed killer pellets?

Use a scoop or broadcast spreader to evenly spread Hydrothol granules over where the weeds and algae are. Use a scoop to toss MuckMaid pellets into the area where you have muck.

Is granular or liquid better?

Both our Granular Dock & Swim Area Products and the liquid Dock & Swim Area Products work great.

Are these dock and swim area products safe for fish and wildlife?

Hydrothol Granular is EPA approved for aquatic use. It is labeled as toxic to fish (they can sense it and stay away); do not use it in ponds. MuckMaid muck pellets contain natural bacteria and it is completely safe to use with the fish, frogs, turtles, etc. in the water as well as the animals that come visit.

Will they kill duckweed, algae, and submerged plants?

Hydrothol will kill duckweed and a wide variety of submerged weeds plus some algae. MuckMaid is not designed to kill plants or algae; it eats the inches of muck at the bottom of your water.

When should I apply these lake weed killers for lakes?

Apply Hydrothol when the water temperature is 60° F or warmer and the weeds/algae are actively growing. Apply MuckMaid every 2-4 weeks when the air temperature is 50-90° F.

When will I see results after applying them?

Hydrothol will kill lake weeds in 17-21 days. Because the bacteria in MuckMaid are live and going through a natural muck eating process, you’ll see full results in 30-45 days.

  1. Sara Larson (verified owner)

    We have also been using Hydrothol and Muck Maid for approximately 4 years at a property we had purchased that had unkept lakeshore area. It has created a great lake area where people can now swim and enjoy the area.

  2. Teresa Bunger (verified owner)

    Have been using Hydrothol for several years. It does a good job. Along with the Muck Maid. It’s taken a while for the Muck Maid as we had about 12 inches of muck in areas. But we are getting there in the shallow water close to shore. Working on the knee-deep areas now. Will continue to purchase.

  3. Darren lindemann (verified owner)

    Been using this for years. Works great. Fast shipping!

    I have had no luck with these products. Two applications of each over the last year, and we still have a difficult weed problem and muck about three inches deep. We live on a sand bottom lake with beautiful clear water, so this is quite frustrating. We had to hire a weed removal company to come in with machinery to remove the weeds, yet even with use of these products the weeds come back within a couple of months. Maybe I got a bad batch? Doesnt’t seem to do anything but cost me money.

  5. Anonymous (verified owner)

    This is our 2nd year using Hydrothol Granular and we are very happy with the results. We added MuckMaid this year which works well too.

  6. Robie (verified owner)

    Used a different product for years(Aquacide) and was no longer working. Tried Hydrothol Granular and had GREAT RESULTS. Worked so good I passed info to neighbors to use.

  7. Lynda (verified owner)

    we are in our second season using the Hydrothol Granules and the MuckMaid and have been extremely happy with the results. Our 1/2 acre pond was in rough shape as far as algae, weeds and muck. We started using the products last summer and this year our pond is absolutely beautiful for swimming and fishing. And the amount of product we need to use to maintin is 1/2 of what we started out with. It has become a popular gathering place for family and friends.
