Default Sad news for me

OH GOD, that is horrible. I live in terror of some knob next door deciding to spray
their apple trees with "ecofriendly" bug sprays, most of them pyrethrum which are
deadly to my fish. I have fruit trees I dont spray until last year they got
something really nasty and my pond is set up so 2 sheets will cover the whole thing
and I stapled the sheets on and close sprayed the two affected trees with malathion,
then changed 1/2 the water after.
DO contact the exterminators because they should not have used something that could
poison the pond or at least not apply it so it would. it is their responsibility.
again. soooo sorry. Ingrid

I had the termite exterminators over Saturday and suspect some of the
poison got in the pond. sigh
