Take these simple steps every time you remove your boat from the water, regardless of whether you know the lake is infected or not: Drain water from live wells, bilges and other containers before leaving the launch area. Remove plant parts and animals from your boat, trailer and accessory equipment. Do not release live bait or aquarium pets into any waters. Wash your boat and trailor throughly with tap water when you get home.

To help stop the spread of exotics, also watch for signs at boat ramps.
