LOL :lol: Nope just saying I know of some people who got turned in for it in Starkville back first of the year. EPA is really cracking down on this kind of stuff right now, if I take chemicals home from the golf course I have to fill out all kind of paper work stateing what Im spraying and at what rates ect.... Im in the process of getting my comercial applicator license and its a bitch here in Florida b/c of what I mentioned.

I use reward all the time, yes its a concentrate so you mix w/water. how many oz depends on the rate you want. Sorry I cant give a rate as Im not by a jug right now. You spray as many chemicals as I have and you forget trade names and rates, I usually remember them by active ingrediants ect... b/c every company has the same products out, they just under diff names. Always read the label it will tell you exactly what to do

I always liked to mix it strong. I usually mixed and 12:1 gallons of water to chemical. I could use about 30 gallons of mix to cover an acre of infested area.

If you want to have no more duckweed, use SONAR. It is expensive but the results are amazing with duckweed.

Jody, you called it. Just make sure you don't have any excessive amounts of wate flowing out of the pond. BTW, you gonna come back and play on your airboat in that pond if you are needed again??
