Algae Defense® is a fast-acting aquatic algaecide designed to work on a broad spectrum of pond algae. Best results are achieved when Algae Defense® is applied at the first appearance of algae and water temperatures exceed 60° F. Unless steps are taken to reduce the overall nutrients in your pond, multiple applications may be needed for a full season of control. Algae Defense® is a direct substitution for Symmetry®.

Purchase Algae Defense® with Cide-Kick™ for maximum results!
Cide-Kick™ surfactant increases the wetting, spreading, sticking and dispersing of aquatic herbicides and algaecides. Cide-Kick™ helps break down the waxy cuticle on the leaf surface and allows chemical applications to penetrate the bud and bark area (of woody brush), resulting in a more effective uptake of the herbicide or algaecide. Cide-Kick™ is a by-product of the citrus industry, a low viscosity oil and is compatible with most aquatic herbicides and algaecides. Simply add 2 ounces of Cide-Kick™ for every gallon of solution (both water and chemical) you mix.

We used Algae Defense with Cide Kick on our pond, and after two applications, the algae is only slightly improved. Unfortunately, we learned that hard way that this stuff kills frogs and tadpoles. ALL of them. |
