What I don't understand is how tons of this product can be sprayed legally. Eventually it rains & washes into somewhere other than where it's intended. Certainly my using a 4# bag illegally in a contained area is dwarfed by tons used legally.
I've wondered the same thing
GARoss.
In fact I've heard all the horror stories about it, causes cancer..ect. Then I read where Mississippi actually got a waiver from the EPA to use Karmex to control algae in catfish ponds that raise catfish for human consumption. Go figure!
http://deltafarmpress.com/livestock/herbicides-approved-fight-pond-algaeOur caretaker last fall used Karmex without our permission and made our pond practically as clean as a swimming pool when it was filled with algae and aqautic vegetation. We told him to never do that again. Luckily we did not suffer a fish kill because he used very small amounts. And this spring our pond is filled with bluegill and lots other fish. Appears healthy as ever. We dont eat fish out of the pond anyway. I wish Karmex didnt have the downsides because it sure works fantastic, is cheap, and so easy to use for cleaning up a pond. I am using Cutrine Plus this year.
