You can prevent the spread of zebra mussels to other waters by checking your boat and trailer. Any water in the bilges or live wells should be drained before leaving the lake. Mud attached to anchors or ropes should be removed, as should any vegetation on boats or trailers.

The population of the zebra mussel is growing at an incredible speed! They are becoming invasive and more and more dangerous. They mostly travel when they are babies (microscopic size) and reproduce when round 2 years old. They can grow up to 2 inches. Over a 100 lakes are infested with the zebra mussels. not many understand this and why they travel but it is all to be seen in the future!
