Tom,

Most fire ant killers have an ingredient that is a fish toxicant. I would be careful with any insecticides around the pond or in the pond's watershed.
In urban areas, we often see fish kills as a result of fire ant killer washing into the pond. We also see the same thing in rural areas where ranchers and landowners are trying to control fire ants in their pastures.
Be careful!
