Guy called back and said he spoke to the kk chemical rep. Rep said that was extremely uncommon and that he felt the pond was way over stocked with bluegill or the fish were at a certain point in the bedding process that they wouldn’t leave the beds after all the chemical was applied.
This is what I think may have happened. Service provided used correct amount of chemical for pond size but chemical was applied primary around the shoreline where the duckweed was concentrated vs spreading it out evenly across entire pond. Considering bluegills on bed at shoreline with high concentration of chemicals and duckweed I think maybe been what caused issue. We’re trying to determine now if any bluegills made it or if we need to restock. I’m done with chemicals now though.
