Unless you like lakes looking like the photo below, control is necessary. Mechanical removal is almost impossible with some invasive species like Hydrilla. Chopping the plants up is what creates... more plants.

Weed control is necessary ,however the process by which they are doing so is not.

I work with a lot of the companies that do lake front clearing(in the water) and several of them believe with federal funding they could help fix a lot of the local lakes.WITHOUT spraying.

I’ve seen how they clear hydrilla and Lilly’s from a private lake. They do it quick and cut and pull it all from the bottom.
