   Cattails dying off
September 26, 2010
Verified Purchase

I have a small pond entirely filled with cattails. Tall ones, too--8-10ft. I sprayed about 1.25 gallons of this at a 5% solution and nearly everyone turned brown within 2 weeks. I will probably have to spray a second time because those things grow so fast.

   Works great on Phragmites
September 22, 2010
Verified Purchase

Purchased because it is our state-approved for use on or near water---lakes and streams. Added the surfactant DyneAmic as recommended (which is also safe for use on water). Killed those very invasive tall water-loving phragmites. Used 3 oz to 2 gal of water and it worked well.

   Rodeo and Phragmites

The Rodeo Herbicide mixed with DyneAmic Surfactant are doing a good job killing my Phragmites. I used a 10% mix.

   Good product, but not for every problem
May 30, 2011
Verified Purchase

I specifically bought this product to control weeds in my farm pond. It arrived quickly and well packaged; no problem there. Close reading of the Rodeo literature included with the product states, "will not control underwater plants, or those with foliage mostly underwater." Naturally, these were the plants that I wanted to control. Lesson learned: just because it says "aquacide" doesn't mean it controls all plants in the water.

   Lesser Celandine
April 19, 2011
Verified Purchase

When I first moved into my home, I thought the little yellow flowers in the natural part of my yard were beautiful. Over the years, they have moved closer and closer to my house until they are now suffocating my grass and plants. I researched my problem and discovered Rodeo is the preferred product to kill lesser celandine. I could not find Rodeo locally, so Googled the product. Domyownpestcontrol was one of the lowest prices. The information on their website gave me further details about my problem. The Rodeo arrived VERY, VERY QUICKLY. This was important since the time to spray lesser celandine is at its earliest emergence. I also ordered DyneAmic Surfactant. I was very nervous about mixing and spraying since I had never done this before. I am also very worried about my environment, but needed to rid this invasive plant. I became worried that the Rodeo was not doing anything. But after 2 weeks, the lesser celandine is dying off. Can't wait to see what emerges next spring.

   Weed Control Looks Positive

Mixed it with a surfactant, as suggested, for control of phragmites near my shop (a very difficult and invasive plant). Initial results are promising from first spraying; a second application may be needed.

Very good product to use around the pond as well as in the planters. Have been using it for years. More economical than Round-up concentrate. Well packaged. Strong container. Received quickly. Thank you.

   Use of Rodeo Herbicide
June 28, 2011
Verified Purchase

The product I ordered came quickly and was exactly what I ordered. It arrived securely with no leaking. It killed everything I sprayed quickly and efficiently. The labeling was clear except on the front of the container it was not specific that it was intended to be used for both land and aquatic weeds, although inside the label there was a section that stated that. I did apply it with the recommended surfactant for better plant penetration. The weeds started dying within 4 days. I will be ordering it again.

Rodeo Herbicide has made it much easier to clean up the excess vegetation along my lake front. I will continue to use it for periodic maintenance.

   It works
June 11, 2012

I took a chance to see if this stuff worked and I am happy to say it did. It took longer than I thought it should but it works.

   Are you up for a Rodeo
June 26, 2012

The product may actually be working on the cat tails!! Surfactant is key and I blended my own as the waxy leaves are quite resistant to having a water based solution adhere to them. It has been two weeks since my first application and I reworked the blend on one section an it appears to effective. Yay!

   Rodeo applied to reeds
September 10, 2012

I will begin by rating the product with three stars as it is too soon to know the final result. I purchased Rodeo to eradicate invasive reeds. I see the initial signs of the product working to kill the reeds but it is too soon to say if the product keeps them away for the year which it claimed to do. I hope it does, as the product is expensive. Very satisfied with the shipping time and condition of product upon arrival.
