The Challenge: Due to poor water quality, the population of midge flies had become a big problem for residents in the Rio Pinar Home Owners Association in Orlando, FL. At 4,376 larvae/m2, a private consulting firm has measured the midge fly population at over 4 times the state nuisance level of 1,000 larvae/m2. Dense midge fly swarms were not only visually unappealing, but their excessive num… Read More »

The Challenge: Located in Rochester Hills, Michigan, two ponds were chosen due to a long history of organic growth and heavy pond muck. Both ponds measured 0.75 acres, 10' deep, and were eutrophic, stagnant environments used primarily for stormwater retention. The Solution: MuckAway Pellets were applied per labeled directions to one of the 0.75-acre ponds over 16 weeks. The other 0.75-acr… Read More »
The Challenge: Located in Auburn Hills, Michigan, two ponds (0.8 and 0.7 acres) were characterized by hypereutrophic conditions with cloudy water and late-season planktonic blooms. The Solution: PondClear was applied on a biweekly basis throughout the summer to the 0.8-acre pond, leaving the 0.7-acre pond as the control. Water samples were collected and sent to an independent laboratory f… Read More »
