    Q
    Is Rodeo Herbicide safe for fish?
    We have a large pond fed by a tributary from a river. Parrot feather is growing rapidly. Will this product help rid the pond of this invasive plant?
    A
    Yes, Rodeo is safe to use in ponds that have fish and other aquatic life. We just started carrying herbicides due to customer request, but they are not our specialty. We would like to refer you to the manufacturer to enquire about the parrot feather since they are the experts on their Rodeo product. The manufacturer is Dow AgroSciences, and you can reach them at 800-992-5994.

    Q
    Can I use Rodeo to control cattails in my pond..I have fish in it and also get my domestic water from it?
    A
    According to the Rodeo product label the product can be used in a pond to control cattails and there are no water restrictions concerning fish or water usage. If a large area of the pond needs to be treated you should only treat a 1/3 - 1/2 of the lake at a time to avoid removing too much oxygen from the water which could impact aquatic life in the pond.

    Q
    Rodeo vs Round up?
    label active ingredients are the same yet one is labeled for aquatic use and the the other isn't, WHY ?
    A
    In cases where the active ingredients are the same but the usage is different there could be a couple of reasons, 1. The formula is different, meaning the base is different. The active ingredient is only one component of a finished product or 2. One company tested the product for specific uses and the other company did not. Use products in accordance with their product labels.

  • Asked by Keith from Richmond Hill,ga
    03/12/2014
    Q
    Will Rodeo kill duckweed?
    A
    The Rodeo Herbicide is not labeled to control duckweed so it may not work for your needs. The Diquat Water Weed and Landscape Herbicide is labeled for duckweed control and will do a good job. For duckweed control, apply Diquat Water Weed and Landscape Herbicide at 1-2 gallons/A + 32 oz./A of surfactant in at least 100 gallons of water. Treatment of dense weed areas may result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead weeds. This loss of oxygen may cause fish suffocation. Therefore, treat only 1/3 to ½ of the water body area at one time and wait 14
    days between treatments.

  • Asked by Nathan
    08/10/2010
    Q
    Is there a quantity in acres that Rodeo 2.5 gallons should cover? Does Rodeo need to be diluted?
    A
    To determine how far one bottle of the Rodeo will go, you need to determine what type of vegetation you are treating and where you will be treating. We recommend that you review the Rodeo Product Label to determine the proper usage rate for your needs. Rodeo will need to be diluted with water as directed on the product label. You will also need to use a non-ionic surfactant such as Dyneamic in combination with the Rodeo for best results.

    Q
    I just purchased Rodeo Herbicide from you. Do you have an application rate suggestion for phragmites control?
    A
    Per page 9 of the Rodeo product label "For partial control of phragmites in Florida and the counties of other states bordering the Gulf of Mexico, apply 7 1/2 pints per acre as a boradcast spray or apply a 1 1/2 percent solution with hand-held equipment.  In other areas of the U.S, apply 4 to 6 pints per acre as a broadcast spray or apply a 3/4 percent solution with hand-held equipment for partial control.  For best results, treat during late summer or fall months when plants are actively growing and in full bloom.  Repeat treatments may be necessary to maintain control"
