Hello friends,
I recently had a pond management service come in and spray one of my ponds for duckweed. They told me the chemical was harm harmless to wildlife but within about seven days after they sprayed the pond now has hundreds of dead bluegills all around the edges. Obviously the chemical had some affects but is this normal? I’m going to call him today as soon as he opens up I’m trying to figure out what’s going on. My guess is they either ate the duckweed and it killed them or since they were bedding and the duckweed was over top of them maybe had some effect since it was around the edges where they were on their beds. Thoughts?
