Controlling PL is not as easy as hopping in a boat and snipping and spraying a few plants. We encounter all sorts of critters along the way from snapping turtles to disgruntled muskrats to this Northern Watersnake. She was just looking for a nice juicy tad pole or injured bluegill for dinner and she ran into us. She never even moved as we waded by, but then again I have that effect on many women.

Dear Summit Lab people: I thank you for removing the Purple Looseleaf growth along E. Royal Rd. last week. I had noticed the numerous plants & intended to call the office to report it but forgot. Two days later, I noticed on my daily walk that they were gone. Thank you so much! I understand you did this on alll our lakes & I appreciate it. Joyce Paape
