The Lake Doctors

Mosquitos, gnats, and midges can become a serious problem around lakes and ponds. These problems can include mosquito bites, general disturbance of your peace and quiet when outside, spread of disease, and - in the case of mass hatching of gnats and midges, including the so-called "blind mosquito" - the soiling and staining of boats, docks, homes, and other structures as a result of millions of organisms dying and leaving fecal material on every surface. Unfortunately, the origin of most of these problems occurs right in your lake or pond because the life cycle includes an aquatic phase wherein eggs hatch into larvae, which inhabit the bottom of the body of water and other underwater places that provide a habitat for the larvae before they hatch into adults.

Our staff of professionals at The Lake Doctors, Inc. provides a wide range of water quality management services to preserve the lakes and ponds of our valued clients. We strive to create custom lake management plans that treat your specific problems and meet your financial needs. Our company has the latest technology, and our specialists are constantly improving our services with innovative techniques to ensure the best possible performance. Whether you are interested in a mosquito pond treatment or our aquatic weed control services, we are happy to serve our clients in a wide variety of ways.

Knowing the facts about your lake or pond is essential for proper management. Exact acreage, depths, and chemistry of your lake are critical factors for making the best decisions. Armed with this knowledge, you will be able to properly place structure, deliver appropriate stocking densities, select the correct fish species, apply the exact amount of weed control products required, and gain a better idea where those bass may be hiding! Common uses for our lake mapping services include: sedimentation and muck control and excavation, volume calculation, recreation maps, habitat and ecology management, watershed management, and fishing maps.

There are many cases in which it might be desirable to physically remove aquatic weeds and other undesirable debris and objects from your lake or pond. One of the most common physical removal services we perform is the cutting and removal of dead cattails. Cattails can grow in dense clusters up to 10' high and completely take over a shoreline out to a depth of up to 4'. The Lake Doctors, Inc. has very safe and effective EPA-certified aquatic herbicides that kill 100% of the cattails in a given area with precise accuracy.
