Yes, Rodeo Herbicide is safe for your lagoon, as it should be applied only to the green foliage, not the water in the lagoon. Rodeo will not control underwater plants, or those with foliage mostly underwater. 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 the plants are mature. Apply to dry plants. No water use restrictions.
Rodeo is not labeled for wild grapevine. We would recommend Crossbow Specialty Herbicide, as it is labeled for wild grape.
Rodeo Herbicide should be applied to actively growing weeds when they are first emerging for best results. You may contact your local cooperative extension office to determine the correct timing of the application as this will vary greatly from region to region.
Rodeo Herbicide is labeled to treat cattails in Lakes, Rivers, Streams, Ponds, Seeps, Irrigation & Drainage Ditches, Canals, Reservoirs, Estuaries.

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.
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.
