Can this product be used on land around a living pond? Regardless of how far away from the pond, during a heavy rain, all the are drains into the pond. Will this harm my fish?
Hi-Yield 38-Plus Insect Control 38% Permethrin applications should be kept at least 25 feet away from any water, and you should avoid areas where runoff is possible as the product is highly toxic to aquatic life. As long as you apply with 24 hours of no rain so the product as time to dry, it is safe to use and will not runoff.
In areas where runoff or overspray to aquatic areas is a concern, you can use natural options like the EcoVia EC or Essentria IC3 which are safe for aquatic life.
