6. Send Us Samples

Pull a sample of each weed (be sure to include leaf and stem), rinse with clear water, and shake out. Place the sample in a plastic bag with a brief note and your contact information. Send to: Aquacide Company, 1627 9th St., White Bear Lake, MN 55110. Please do not send samples packed in water. They rot, smell, and are difficult to identify. Do not fully dry the sample. It may turn to dust and become difficult to identify. Please allow 10 working days for a response. E-mail a close-up photograph of your weed to Weeds@killlakeweeds.com. Positive weed identification usually cannot be made from verbal descriptions.
