Eurasian watermilfoil has returned to Middleton's Duff Lane Pond. Fish and Game staff plan to treat the pond on Monday, May 20th with a granular herbicide that will kill the invasive aquatic weed and help keep the pond fishable.
Signs announcing the treatment will be placed at the pond, and the application will be done according to manufacturer guidelines by Fish and Game staff licensed as aquatic herbicide applicators. In the 24 hours following treatment, the public and their pets should not swim in or drink from the pond. Past milfoil treatments at Duff Lane Pond have resulted in no fish mortality.
