For those individuals who would prefer to use biological methods in maintaining their pond rather than chemicals, we offer biological control as well. Cygnet BioBlend II WSP (water soluble packets) is a formulation of beneficial pond bacteria, for use in ponds, lakes, lagoons, fish and shrimp hatcheries and similar aqua-environments. It naturally removes excess ammonia-causing and nitrite-causing wastes from the water, while simultaneously removing problem-causing nitrates and phosphates. It also naturally removes decaying organic wastes such as grass clippings, leaves, excess fertilizer runoff, dead plants and animal wastes. Plus, it eliminates murky water, odors and bottom sludge, caused by organic waste buildup. Since Cygnet BioBlend II WSP is not labeled as a chemical pesticide, we can offer this product for sale as well. Other biological products are available as well to help reduce nutrients in the water. Please contact us to learn more.

In addition to biological products, Upstate Applications, Inc. stocks grass carp for herbicidal control. The best times to stock grass carp is in early spring and in early fall. In New York State, a permit is required to stock grass carp in your pond or lake. There is no fee for a permit application. Click here to download a grass carp permit application.
