What can be done to control Eurasian watermilfoil or other invasive aquatic plants?
Milfoil can be controlled using aquatically approved herbicides or by mechanical means, such as a harvester or cutter. The DNR Aquatic Plant Management Program regulates the control of aquatic plants. In most cases a permit from the DNR is required to control aquatic plants, including milfoil. The DNR publication, “A Guide to Aquatic Plants” provides information about aquatic plants and how and when to obtain a permit to destroy them.
