Features & Benefits
- Product Highlights
Nautique is a fast-acting, economical contact pond herbicide that provides localized pondweed control with no water-use or irrigation restrictions.
Fast Knockdown, Broad-Spectrum Control
Nautique's copper-based formula, the most concentrated chelated copper formula available, works on contact for spot and local treatment of tough weeds like hydrilla, Egeria, and southern naiad. Able to control a variety of submersed, floating, and emergent aquatic weeds, Nautique is ideal for use in slow-moving water bodies such as non-irrigation golf course or ornamental ponds.
The best product available for fast knockdown of nuisance aquatic vegetation:
- Nautique's copper ions inhibit plant photosynthesis, cutting off the food source of undesired plants and providing rapid results
- Dual chelating agents keep more active ingredient available in water column vs. other copper-based herbicides
- Broad-spectrum control of copper-sensitive nuisance aquatic vegetation

Safety & Health
- Precautionary Statements
Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. Causes skin burns. May be fatal if absorbed through skin. Harmful if swallowed. Harmful if inhaled. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing spray or mist vapor. When handling, wear protective eyewear, clothing and chemical-resistant gloves as described under the section of this label pertaining to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, or using tobacco. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are barrier laminate, butyl rubber 214 mils, or nitrile rubber 214 mils. If you want more options, follow the instructions for category A on an EPA chemical-resistant category selection chart.
Mixers, loaders, applicators and other handlers must wear the following:
- Coveralls (such as Tyvek suit or similar) worn over long-sleeved shirt and long pants
- Socks and chemical resistant footwear
- Chemical-resistant gloves (such as nitrile or butyl rubber)
- Protective eyewear such as goggles, safety glasses, or face shield
- A chemical-resistant apron when mixing and loading or cleaning equipment
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Discard clothing and other absorbent material that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product's concentrate. Do not reuse them.

- Remove PPE immediately after handling Nautique. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Waters treated with this product may be hazardous to aquatic organisms. Treatment of aquatic weeds and algae can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead algae and weeds. This oxygen loss can cause fish and invertebrate suffocation. To minimize this hazard, do not treat more than Va of the water body to avoid depletion of oxygen due to decaying vegetation. Wait at least 10 to 14 days between treatments. Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas. Consult with the State or local agency with primary responsibility for regulating pesticides before applying to public waters, to determine if a permit is required.
Certain water conditions including low pH (<6.5), low dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels (3.0 mg/L or lower), and "soft" waters (.e. alkalinity less than 50 mg/L), increases the potential acute toxicity to non-target aquatic organisms. Do not use in waters containing trout or other fish species that are highly sensitive to copper if the alkalinity is less than 50 ppm. Fish toxicity generally decreases when the hardness of water increases. This product must not be used in ornamental ponds containing Koi.

Storage & Handling
- Storage And Disposal
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage and disposal.
Pesticide Storage: Store in a cool dry place. Do not store near feed or foodstuffs. In case of leak or spill, use absorbent materials to contain liquids and dispose in a manner consistent with the pesticide disposal instructions.
Pesticide Disposal: Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. Wastes resulting from the use of this product may be disposed of on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
Non-refillable Container Handling (rigid, 5 gallons or less): Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container V4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, treatment area, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat the procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling (if available) or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill , or by incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.
Non-refillable Container Handling (rigid, larger than 5 gal): Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, treatment area, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling (if available) or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.
