Act Now

Stop zebra mussels and quagga mussels from spreading before they get out of control. If you’ve just discovered zebra mussels or quagga mussels in your water, don’t give up! And don’t listen to pessimists who tell you there’s nothing you can do.

Zebra mussels can be eradicated under certain conditions. If you have a recent infestation or a localized colony, our Emergency Response Team can take quick action to help you eradicate them in just a few weeks.

Even if you can’t eradicate them, that’s okay! You don’t have to. Often it’s enough just to stop zebra mussels and quagga mussels from spreading to beaches, docks, intake structures and other critical areas.
