Clear out stubborn shoreline growth with AquaNeat Aquatic Herbicide, a 53.8% glyphosate water-soluble liquid for non-selective control of emerged aquatic weeds and brush. It moves from treated foliage into the root system, with many annual weeds showing visible effects in 2 to 4 days. The 2.5-gallon jug fits ponds, canals, reservoirs, wetlands, and repeat maintenance work.

  • Quick visible response; many annual weeds show in 2 to 4 days
  • Root-level control; systemic movement reaches beyond top growth
  • Aquatic-ready use; for emerged weeds and brush
  • Flexible mixing; broadcast, hand-held, or spot applications
  • Treated-water use; irrigation, recreation, and domestic use stay open
  • 2.5-gallon size; practical for recurring shoreline jobs

Choose one jug that handles real shoreline work well.

Always use an approved nonionic surfactant.

Product Description

Systemic Control for Shorelines, Canals, and Emerged Aquatic Weeds

AquaNeat is a strong fit when you need one liquid herbicide that can handle shoreline vegetation, ditchbank growth, wetland edges, and other emerged aquatic weed problems without switching to a separate land product. Its systemic glyphosate formula moves from green tissue into the root system, which matters when top growth alone is not enough. The 2.5-gallon container also suits recurring maintenance better than small spot-only packaging.


Key Features & Benefits

Feature Benefit
53.8% glyphosate Delivers non-selective systemic control of emerged weeds and brush.
Water-soluble liquid Mixes for broadcast, hand-held, and small-area spray work.
Aquatic and non-crop fit Covers aquatic sites plus listed habitat, forestry, and right-of-way uses.
2.5-gallon jug Practical size for repeat shoreline, canal, and pond-edge spraying.
No soil residual Useful when you want foliar control without long residual carryover.

Directions & Dosing Snapshot

Use Case Label Rate Application Notes
Annual weeds under 6 inches 1.5 pt./A plus 2 qt. or more approved nonionic surfactant per 100 gal. Broadcast foliar use while weeds are actively growing.
Annual weeds over 6 inches 2.5 pt./A plus 2 qt. or more approved nonionic surfactant per 100 gal. Larger growth needs the higher broadcast rate.
Hand-held and small-area sprayers 0.75% hand-held solution, or 2.25 to 4.5 fl. oz. product plus 0.5 to 1 fl. oz. nonionic surfactant per 1 gal. water Low end fits many annual weeds and grasses; high end fits perennials and brush.
Cattail 4.5 to 6 pt./A broadcast or 0.75% hand-held Treat from early to full bloom for stronger control.
Waterhyacinth 5 to 6 pt./A broadcast or 0.75 to 1% hand-held Visible symptoms may take 3 weeks or more; complete necrosis and decomposition often runs 60 to 90 days.
Waterlettuce 0.75 to 1% hand-held Best from mid-summer through winter; spring growth can need retreatment.

Always follow the full label for complete directions, restrictions, and site-specific requirements.

Why Choose a Systemic Aquatic Glyphosate?

  • Root-system movement: AquaNeat moves beyond exposed leaf tissue to help fully shut down emerged growth.
  • Flexible use pattern: Broadcast, backpack, and small-area spray options fit routine maintenance and targeted cleanup.
  • Smarter container size: The 2.5-gallon jug gives useful volume without jumping straight to drum inventory.

What is AquaNeat and when is it the right aquatic glyphosate herbicide?
AquaNeat is a non-selective aquatic glyphosate herbicide for emerged weeds and brush in ponds, canals, drainage ditches, shorelines, wetlands, and other listed aquatic sites. It is the right fit when you want systemic foliar control that moves into the root system instead of only burning back exposed growth. It also works well when one 2.5-gallon jug needs to cover recurring maintenance, not just a few small spot jobs.
Will AquaNeat control cattails, johnsongrass, willow, waterhyacinth, waterlettuce, and phragmites?
Yes. AquaNeat is used on a wide range of emerged aquatic weeds and brush, including cattail, johnsongrass, willow, waterhyacinth, waterlettuce, and phragmites. Rate, timing, and level of control still depend on the target plant and growth stage, so tougher species can need higher rates and more patience.
Does AquaNeat kill submerged pond weeds or only emerged aquatic weeds?
No. AquaNeat is for emerged aquatic weeds and brush, not plants that are completely submerged or have most of their foliage under water. It works best when there is enough exposed green tissue to spray thoroughly.
How much AquaNeat do I use per acre or per gallon of water?
AquaNeat rates depend on the weed and application style. Annual weeds under 6 inches use 1.5 pt./A, larger annual weeds use 2.5 pt./A, many tougher emerged aquatic targets run higher, and small-area sprayers use 2.25 to 4.5 fl. oz. per gallon of water plus nonionic surfactant. Match the rate to the target and keep the surfactant in the mix.
Do I need a nonionic surfactant with AquaNeat?
Yes. AquaNeat is designed to be mixed with an approved nonionic surfactant for aquatic applications. That added spread and wetting helps improve foliar coverage on waxy, upright, or dense emerged vegetation.
How much area does a 2.5-gallon jug usually cover?
AquaNeat coverage varies widely because the label rate changes with the weed, plant size, and spray method. A 2.5-gallon jug goes much farther on small annual weeds at lower broadcast rates than it does on heavy perennial brush or tougher aquatic targets at higher rates. For hand-held work, the same jug can also support many gallon-by-gallon shoreline mixes.
How fast does AquaNeat work on shoreline and ditch weeds?
AquaNeat shows visible effects on many annual weeds in 2 to 4 days, while perennial brush and tougher aquatic weeds usually take longer. Waterhyacinth can need 3 weeks or more for clear symptoms, and complete necrosis and decomposition can run 60 to 90 days. Systemic control is usually slower than contact-only chemistry, but it is built for deeper follow-through.
When should I choose AquaNeat instead of a fast contact aquatic herbicide?
AquaNeat is the better choice when you want systemic control that moves into stems and roots instead of only fast surface burn-back. It fits shoreline and canal programs where longer-term shutdown matters more than the quickest visual browning. Contact chemistry can still make sense for rapid cosmetic cleanup, but it follows a different use pattern.
Can I use treated water for irrigation, recreation, or domestic purposes after spraying?
Yes. AquaNeat does not carry a treated-water restriction for irrigation, recreation, or domestic use after application. Potable water intake spacing still matters before treatment, so shoreline jobs near active intakes need extra planning.
Why do aquatic weeds keep coming back, and should I add beneficial microbes too?
Yes. AquaNeat can knock down existing emerged growth, but dead plant material still settles and adds to the organic load that helps future weeds return. Beneficial microbes are a smart follow-up because they help break down sludge and excess organics, which supports a more balanced pond or lake and can reduce how dependent the site becomes on repeat chemical cleanup over time.

No joke

Verified Purchase

This stuff is unreal. Kills just about everything I spray it on except the duckweed which never stops coming back. So far, the giant salvania and hyacinth are looking dead. Duckweed is going to get Sonar soon and Ntmax sludge muck eater to get me back in shape. Story in the making. Good company with nice people.

Good product that works well

Verified Purchase

I mixed 7 oz per gallon and used a backpack electric sprayer to treat my entire shoreline. I wait for no wind and hot sunny weather to apply. The pond looks nice and hoping it stays that way.

Our pond is 3 years old and already got covered with a stringy long floating weed. This worked.

Worked really great. I used a 4% dilution to kill weeds in the cove area of our lake. Works fast!

Cattails and lilies

Verified Purchase

The best for controlling lilies and cattails, but needs a surfactant. Dish soap is not safe for the environment, get a real surfactant. Helpful customer service.

Does what it is supposed to do

Verified Purchase

I uses it sparingly and never lost fish yet. Kills grass around the pond where over sprayed.
