Lily pads and other rhizome-based plants are almost impossible to eradicate due to the clever way they grow. 

Lake Defense Force has tried every eradication solution recommended in the botanical literature, sold by commercial vendors and passed down by folklore.

And after much trial and error, we have combined the most scientifically sound advice with our own experience and developed LDF Bottom Barriers that block the plants’ access to their energy source. This approach eradicates lily pads’, Milfoil, and other noxious plants root systems, choking off the plants’ ability to grow and reproduce.

Bottom Barriers also called Benthic Barriers can clean up lily-pad or Eurasian Milfoil infested waterfronts in just a few months, and keep them clear for years to come. However, bottom barriers are non selective and can’t apply to all use cases. 

LDF bottom barriers are modular with our 5′ x 10′ panels ; don’t require dangerous stakes and rebar due to their unique frame and attachment system. Are heavily weighted (more than double our competitors) and won’t shift . We can cover surface from 50 to 5000 sqft with our panel systems. For larger surface we use a linear approach that retain most of the principle but allow more scalability.
