CUTRINE Made
The Difference
Lakes and ponds like the one above (left)
needn’t be spoiled by the odor and scum of
algae or threatened by the harmful, even lethal,
effect it can have on fish, animals and humans.
CUTRINE, used as directed, controlled the
algae in the pond (right) in just a few days.
CUTRINE can make the difference in your lake
or pond. It has been thoroughly tested and
proven in actual field use. CUTRINE is regis
tered by the Environmental Protection Agency
for use in fish, farm and fire ponds; lakes; fish
hatcheries even in POTABLE WATER RES
ERVOIRS.
