Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - Aggressive Milfoil Treatment Planned in Wolfeboro

MVYC treats the marina every 3-4 years. It will be treated again this year. DES regulates how often you can treat for milfoil. The last time it was treated I happen to be there. A small aluminum boat with a devise that works like a lawn fertilizer mounted on the bow of the boat is used. The actual treatment used looks like fertilizer(small granules). No boats were allowed to enter or exit the marina for I think 24 hours to allow it to settle & no swimming is allowed(no swimming in the marina is allowed anyway).

I don't know if Wolfeboro will be using the same kind of treatment though. I'm sure There are several.
