As the president of a homeowners association in South Florida, I’ve dealt with the ongoing struggle against invasive aquatic weeds. For years, our solution was chemical spraying. It provided temporary relief, but the cycle never ended. The weeds would die, sink to the bottom, decompose, and before long, we’d be back to square one.
Last year alone, we spent $94,560 on spraying—nearly $8,000 a month, every single year—with little to show for it except declining water quality. The chemicals weren’t just targeting the weeds; they were also affecting the ecosystem we were trying to protect.
So, we decided to try something new. Instead of spending endlessly on short-term fixes, we invested $106,000 in equipment that removes weeds completely—roots and all. No chemicals, no debris left behind to fuel future growth, and no waiting for results. Within days, the difference was clear. We purchased a Weedoo workboat, an efficient aquatic weed harvester designed to remove invasive vegetation quickly and effectively.
Financially, it just made sense. In less than a year and a half, we’ll break even. After that, we’ll be saving thousands of dollars each month—money that can be put toward other community projects.
But beyond the numbers, the impact on our community has been incredible. The water is cleaner, the ecosystem healthier, and the feedback from residents has been overwhelmingly positive. It feels good to know we’re no longer relying on short-term solutions but investing in something that truly works.
If your HOA is caught in the same endless spraying cycle, I highly recommend exploring alternatives. Investing in an aquatic weed harvester has made all the difference for us.
