Rodeo Herbicide is a very popular glyphosphate herbicide for the control of aquatic weeds and plants. Rodeo Herbicide is effective on nearly all emergent plants like Cattails, Grasses, Bulrushes, Purple Loosestrife, Alligatorweed. Rodeo is systemic - kills the roots for multi year control. There is not a more economical way to control tall weeds. Mix the Rodeo concentrate with water and a non-ionic surfactant (See DyneAmic Surfactant) and apply by using a back pack or Chapin sprayer. For Cattail or Lily control wait until plants are mature. Apply to dry plants. No water use restrictions.

Good product, but not for every problem
By Jd on 05/30/2011
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.

Cattails dying off
By Sam on 09/26/2010
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
By Phragmite on 09/22/2010
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 Aqua Killer
By Marion on 04/25/2014
This is great stuff but you must be very careful because even the slightest mist or overspray will kill anything growing close to the shoreline. I have used this product before and it prevented new growth for about 5-6 years. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get rid of lily pads and other shoreline vegetation.

Yes, Rodeo Herbicide has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available for ordering. Please see Roundup Custom Aquatic Terrestial Herbicide as an alternative product to control aquatic weeds and plants.
As the long as the Rodeo Herbicide application has had time to dry and you did not receive a heavy rainfall that would cause runoff or draining into the lawn, then there should not be any significant runoff that would injure nearby plants.
Please view the full product label for more information.
How often will I need to apply?
Rodeo Herbicide has no herbicidal or residual activity in the soil. Where repeat applications up to the labeled rate are necessary, do not apply more than 8 quarts of product per acre per year. It could take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to notice results.
Rodeo Herbicide is labeled for phragmites at a 4 to 7 percent solution of this product in low volume directed spray applications. The product label states this product only offers partial control and rates vary depending what equipment is being used.
Spray coverage should be uniform with at least 50 percent of the foliage contacted For best results, cover the top one-half of the plant To ensure adequate spray coverage, spray both sides of large or tall weeds when foliage is thick and dense or where there are multiple sprouts.
Refer to the Rate Charts on page 4 & 5 of the product label and page 12 of the product label for specific information.
Rodeo Herbicide is a non selective herbicide primarily to kill grass, broadleaf weeds and brush around aquatic areas therefore should not be used in lawns.
Please view the full product label for more information.
For best results, a non ionic surfactant is recommended to be used with Rodeo Herbicide. Per the product label, using this product without a surfactant will result in reduced herbicide performance and may not provide the results you are wanting.
Rodeo Herbicide has been discontinued by the manufacturer and Roundup Custom Aquatic Terrestrial Herbicide would be an alternative for treating aquatic weeds.
View the Roundup Aquatic Herbicide product label for more information.
Yes, it is possible that Rodeo Herbicide can harm a tree if it comes in direct contact with it. We would recommend spraying outside the drip zone of the tree and not spraying around any desirable vegetation. Another method would be to brush the solution directly onto the leaves of the English Ivy or pull the ivy away from the tree to spray it directly.
Rodeo Herbicide is a glyphosphate herbicide for the control of aquatic weeds and plants in lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, drainage ditches, and canals while Ranger Pro and Roundup Pro are not for aquatic weeds and plants but for annual and perennial weeds and brush in residential areas, parks and recreation areas.
Ranger Pro is the generic brand of of Roundup PRO.
The product label for Rodeo Herbicide does not list specific water well restrictions, so we would recommend avoiding application in a way that would directly contact a water well, as well as keeping applications at least 15 feet from a water well.
Areas that have been treated with Rodeo Herbicide are safe for chickens and other animals to return once dry, typically after 4-6 hours. It would not affect the eggs they lay.
The Rodeo Herbicide states there are no restrictions as far as swimming or utilizing water after an application of Rodeo. If you wish to give a day between treatments and when you resume swimming for your comfort levels you can certainly do so, however it is not required.
Rodeo Herbicide is labeled to treat cattails in Lakes, Rivers, Streams, Ponds, Seeps, Irrigation & Drainage Ditches, Canals, Reservoirs, Estuaries. It is recommended to treat sections at a time as to avoid depleting oxygen levels in the water that could injure aquatic life. Please view the product label for more information.
