That's the million dollar question RUM! Here is the label info...
https://www.domyown.com/msds/Tordon_RTU_Label3a.pdfand a quote from the label (first page under environmental hazards)...
"This pesticide may be toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Non-target
plants may be adversely affected if pesticide is allowed to drift from areas
of application. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface
water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark."
BUT, it sure is vague due to it discussing "drift" or overspray and they say "may" be toxic. The safe answer is to NOT use it around a pond, but I would love to hear from someone that can interpret the label with more authority than I.
I have used this stuff for killing of a number of hard to kill trees at my place: Trees that tend to grow back with a vengeance once cut down (Hedge, Locus, Poison Ivy, elm, etc). It is great at its job and is almost always applied to the cut stump with a squirt bottle or brush. I have never heard of anyone spraying it. I have not had the need to use it at my pond, but have used it 70 feet uphill from the pond. I wonder if it is brush applied...does it leach from the plants roots and creep into the pond...It's hard to decipher from the label information.
