What is it?
Filamentous algae, commonly called pond scum. In our area, it is about the most common form of algae problem, and when coupled with other weeds such as “Coontail”, it can become a real problem. There are other types of algae, such as “Muskgrass”, or “Skunkweed” as it is sometimes called, and “Nitella”, sometimes called “Stonewort”, which resemble true plants. Whatever type of algae problem you have, we offer a treatment for it.
