A new bug may be on the way to fight Eurasian Milfoil in lakes. The milfoil weevil could be an answer to chemical treatment for the invasive weed that has choked many lakes. The weevil is a specialist herbivore and will be studied for six years by researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point at Lake Joanis. If the study goes well the weevil could be released in other lakes to fight invasive weeds.
