how do you get rid of cattails that grow around a ponds edge?
My boss has a small pond (1/2 acre) that has cattails growing around edge.At first they made good cover and kept the sides from eroding but now they are out of control.They are so thick you can't even get near the water and enjoy the pond.There are fish in the pond.Are there any pesticides that are safe to use.We have dug them out with a backhoe and they come right back.Also I have heard if you place a bale of Barley Hay in the water source of a pond there will not be any moss on top of water.

The best way to go is ask pond supplier what they use. I know I have a small pond also and the trick is to get the roots out well that was a backache and finally consulted feed store in town and the recommended take regular round up and dilute down even more to 50 50 and spray a few of the cat tails and wait for if you spray to much you risk killing your fish in pond. So after about 6 days the tips of the cat tails started to turn brown. I then waited another week and sprayed again I was very careful and it all worked out well as of today I have no cat tails. Good luck
