DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – A second Flowering rush chemical treatment of the summer will occur on Lakes Area Lakes next week.
Flowering rush is a reed-like wetland plant with pink flowers. The plant grows densely along shore land areas making it difficult to access open water, as well as provides unsuitable shelter, food, and nesting habitat for native animals.
Lakes Detroit, Curfman, Sallie and Melissa will be treated with a chemical application on either Wednesday, July 28 or Thursday, July 29. Treatment signs will be posted in treatment areas.
It is recommended that irrigation using lake water in treated areas cease for five days after treatment.
