Why Hire Us Vs the Competition?

  1. Unmatched Speed & Coverage: Our WaterShark remote harvester, backed by an experienced 4-person crew, clears 10,000+ SQFT in just 3–4 hours—more than twice the area a DASH team can manage in a full day (~4,000 SQFT). That means your entire waterfront is reclaimed in a single visit: ready for swimming and boating the same day.

  2. Better Value for More Results: We cover 2x+ the area at a lower cost than DASH services, clearing your entire waterfront for less money.

  3. Chemical-Free & Eco-Friendly: No herbicides, so your waterfront is ready for use immediately. Battery-powered and low decibel machinery supported by a crew with weed rakes and razors, which will not disturb our sensitive salmon habitats.

  4. FREE Offsite Composting: We haul everything away and compost it responsibly on private land—at no extra charge to you. Lake weeds like Eurasian Milfoil are high in moisture/nitrogen content and excellent for composting if done properly.

  5. Personal Service: You deal directly with the owner from quote to completion—fast responses, no middlemen. I am on most jobsites and happy to answer any questions you may have.

  6. Increase Your Property Value: a 2014 study conducted by King County found milfoil presence reduced average lakefront property values by 19%.

  7. 100% Compliant: Milfoil Mercenaries guarantees 100% adherence to all state and local permitting requirements for mechanical aquatic weed removal. From Hydraulic Project Approvals (HPA) to shoreline guidelines, every job is planned and executed in full alignment with the Department of Fish & Wildlife, Department of Ecology, and county/city regulations. No shortcuts, no surprises.
