does it kill cattails?

Yes, it will kill cattails but the recommended procedure has you dissolve it in the surrounding water(s). I have found that spraying glyphosphate on the upper exposed leaves will be more selective and will kill the cattails. You will probably want to boost the surfactant level in the spray so it wets the whole surface of the leaves. Most Glyphosphate formulations have some surfactant but more would be better.Dissolving Diuron in the pond water will kill most of the algae and vegetation but may be more drastic than you want. If you kill off all the pond plants too late in the season, they will decompose under the ice and will deplete the pond oxygen.

Andrea. I honestly don't know. It does work on a lot of under water weeds. It's really good stuff but I really don't know about cat tails. Sorry

I used diuron decades ago to kill weeds in ponds, but some of the memories are fading. I do know that cattails have a waxy surface that causes liquids and think emulsions to simply bead up and roll off. To kill a cattail, you need a wetting agent like dish soap (about 1/2 tsp) with each gallon of liquid to mix with your diuron to penetrate the surface coating. Another effective herbicide is diquat. Again, a wetting agent is needed.Hope this helps, like I said, that was a long time ago.

If you mean cattails, yes, it will. They need to be sprayed once, thoroughly wetting the plant above water. Then repeat it 3 weeks later. It not only kills the stalks, but the tubers underwater. It takes a long while for the standing stalks to rot and fall, but they will die. That is precisely what I purchased it for and it worked very well.

Delta dust will kill anything that moves, including humans if ingested. For larger pests it may take longer to die. It's a neuro toxin. Our wolf spiders took a while, even with direct contact spray. My pest guy says anything that will "clean itself" will ingest this. This is why bed bugs die, even though they live off of blood. They, like most insects, clean themselves like a cat. Gross!

I think this would kill any insect, but it is so potent it shouldn't be used it on anything that produces food. That means birds could also be harmed. The label even has a cautionary statement to not use around ponds, streams etc. - all waterways where fish & other amphibious creatures inhabit. That is why I've used it twice in five years & only on our house plants.

We used this to successfully get rid on the watermeal in our pond, which is very very hard to kill. This killed all the vegetation in our pond. I would not use this if you are concerned about your water lilies.

Nope. This is a personal repellant, that works in wind-free environment. It does not attract or kill.

Definitely not - it could kill them. You also will need to remove any plants.

It kills anything it touches including grass. Don't use on a windy day. Works all season. I purchased this last year. Only thing i found that works.

This product will kill any kind of vegetation you spray. However, that is only if you directly spray them. Spraying pest around them and spraying the soil will have no effect on these plants. It Only kills what is directly sprayed.

I don't hnow about Horsetail but it does a great job on Wild Roses and Black Berry plants. This country is infested with Wild Roses since we have THOUSANDS of Wild Tukeys spreading the hip seeds every where they go.

Kills them when they cross it as far as I know. Works great on millipeds---reason bought.

No, it will not kill your tree. It kills just the roots that grow into the sewer lines. I know it's hard to imagine that you have roots growing into the pipes, but tiny cracks allow for fine roots to spread out on the inside and then clog the whole pipe. The Foaming Root killer destroys those.

It would no doubt kill them... BUT i would not spray this around my food. The little cardboard traps especially designed for pantry moths seem to work best for those pesky cridders.

Not really, this product is designed to kill greenery. I have sometimes sprayed around trees accidently and nothing happened to the trees or roots
