Cide-Kick II Aquatic Surfactant | Non-Ionic Herbicide Activator for Pond & Shoreline Weeds
Cide-Kick II is a professional-grade, non-ionic aquatic surfactant designed to improve herbicide and algaecide performance in ponds and lakes. By breaking down the waxy leaf surface of aquatic weeds and algae, it increases chemical absorption and delivers faster, more effective control of emergent, floating, and submerged vegetation.
💎 Key Features & Benefits +
Breaks down waxy leaf cuticles so herbicides like Glyphosate, Reward, 2,4-D, and Weedtrine absorb more effectively.
Enhances contact and penetration when tank-mixed with aquatic algaecides for tougher algae species.
Non-ionic, biodegradable, and water-soluble formulation designed specifically for pond and lake applications.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions +
Q: What does an aquatic surfactant do?
A: It reduces surface tension and breaks down waxy leaf coatings so herbicides penetrate weeds more effectively.
Q: Can I use Cide-Kick II alone to kill weeds?
A: No. Cide-Kick II is an activator and must be mixed with a labeled herbicide or algaecide to be effective.
Q: When should I use a surfactant in pond treatments?
A: Use it when spraying emergent or floating weeds, duckweed, or tough vegetation where improved absorption increases treatment success.
