This exotic and very invasive plant –\u00a0\u00a0 Eurasian Watermilfoil<\/em><\/strong> – has already spoiled more than 40 lakes in the Laurentians alone.<\/p>\n

This is what the plant looks like: \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fortunately, there is none in Argenteuil. None in our lakes.<\/p>\n

And below, this is what a lake with Eurasian Watermilfoil looks like:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We absolutely must protect ourselves against this.<\/p>\n

It is now our biggest threat<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

So, this summer, make sure that the boats brought in by renters and friends – and yours if it is used in a foreign lake – are thoroughly washed before they navigate your lake.<\/p>\n

Same applies to paddles, fishing gear, electric motors.<\/p>\n

Here is how to proceed. Follow these four steps: inspect – drain – clean – dry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspection<\/strong> is the most important. If you look carefully, you will probably locate exotic plants or molluscs. Drain<\/strong> to make sure there is no leftover water at the bottom of your kayak, for example. Clean<\/strong> with fresh water and a bit of bleach<\/strong>. Finally, let dry<\/strong> in the sun.<\/p>\n

All this should be done at a good distance from the lake.<\/p>\n
