RESTRICTED - Requires application number for all states

Rotenone is expensive, which is another reason to not do a renovation unless it is necessary. Costs can range from $50 to $80 per gallon. At $70 per gallon, the 5-acre pond above would cost $70 X 20 acre-feet = $1,400. Prices vary from year to year and depend on total amount purchased. So says Google.

At $1875.00 plus application fees, makes me think that the trash pump & hydrated lime might be an option. I would contact & talk with a local pond management professional. I am cheap & lazy, I don't want to spend more or work more than I have too; but I want it right the first time!

Rotenone poisoning can be fatal and there is no antidote. Mechanistically, rotenone inhibits mitochondrial complex I, leading to reduced ATP production, compensatory glycolytic upregulation and secondary lactate production, and oxidative stress.
