How long would I need to cover my pond for when using Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate when treating a tree above it for caterpillars?

I have roughly a 200 gallon fish pond below the trees that I need to spray for an infestation of the redhumped Catapillar. Can I cover the pond while spraying? How long should I wait before uncovering the pond? Will leaves or dead catapillars that fall hurt the water or fish in my pond?

Answer:

When using Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew Concentrate you can use it under your tree to treat for caterpillars as long as you cover the pond, and leave it covered until all the treated foilage has time to dry. Per the manufacturer the residual left on that foiliage or the pest that come in contact with it would not harm your fish should any of it fall into the pond after the treated area has dried.
