Environmentally Responsible Management of Invasive and Exotic Vegetation in Riparian and Wetland Habitats

At FDC Enterprises we pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service and superior results. Whether you are looking to control phragmites in a riparian zone or re-create a wetland mosaic where cattails have taken over, FDC Enterprises can meet your needs. "The Labrador" is a FDCE custom built rubber tracked amphibious machine for chemically controlling vegetation that grows at the water/land interface. Our equipment and methods offer you a superior alternative to aerial application.

Why use our services?

• Low Profile: We can complete the job without the public attention associated with aerial application.

• Cost Effective: Our rages are competitive with aerial application services.

• Environmentally Responsible: Our direct injection closed loop system eliminates the potential for chemical spills.

• Within-Site Herbicide Selection: The direct injection system offers the option to spray selective herbicides where both desirable and undesirable species are present and instantly switch to non-selective herbicides when complete vegetation control is desired.

• QVM Certified: We are one of only 46 companies nationwide that have earned Quality Vegetation Management Certification. QVM Certified requires us to maintain a higher environmental quality standard when working with aquatic herbicides. It also gives us access to specialty herbicides, technical advice, and next generation products that are on the next frontier of this emerging industry.

• GPS Mapping: "The Labrador" is guided using the cutting edge RAVEN GPS mapping system. All chemical application is monitored and controlled by this system. Maps are generated on all projects indicating coverage area and dosing rates.

• Precision Application: We can apply herbicide on small and/or sensitive areas with a precision unattainable through aerial application.

• Minimal Disturbance: "The Labrador" has less than 1psi of ground pressure which minimizes ground disturbance and soil compaction.

• Nationwide Coverage: We offer our services nationwide.
