The goal of decontamination is to kill and remove all evidence of aquatic invasive species using high-pressure, hot water.

Zebra and quagga mussels attach themselves to hard surfaces tightly like superglue and are very difficult to remove without high pressure, hot water.

Aquatic invasive species can make shoreline areas hazardous and uninviting for recreational users and waterfront property owners.

If you boat on a lake infested with Eurasian watermilfoil or other aquatic weeds, what is the best way to prevent the plants from spreading somewhere else?

Zebra and quagga mussels can attach themselves to hard surfaces but can be removed quite easily with a damp cloth.

Aquatic invasive species can clog water intake pipes and impede the flow of water to municipal water supplies, irrigation operations, and power plants.
