Aquatic Doctors offer aquatic plant harvesting. Harvesters are used to cut the vegetation, remove it from the water, and dispose of the plant matter onshore.

In certain situations harvesting is a viable option; please contact Aquatic Doctors for site specific information.

These undesirables can wreak havoc with the quality of your water system. Whether your needs are stocking desirable game fish, or the removal of undesirable competitive species, Aquatic Doctors can meet all your needs.

We are currently using a biological control agent “Vectobae” this agent disrupts the mosquito, at the larvae stage, and leads to their death in 24 hours. Please contact us with any questions you may have. A program can now be set up to rid the nuisance for you and your neighbors.
