Several reactive control methods have proved to be effective for zebra mussel control. Scraping, scrubbing, pigging, high-pressure water, and carbon dioxide pellet blasting are all procedures that will detach zebra mussels from affected components. Freezing, desiccation, and chemicals are not only effective means of killing zebra mussels that also facilitate removal of dead organisms and shell material.
