The Most Powerful Formulation for the Biggest Jobs

Fishing, boating and swimming are some of the most enjoyable and popular recreational sports in our country. But they are increasingly threatened by invasive and non-native fish.

Because invasive and non-native fish are so widely distributed, and can have such a profound impact, piscicides play a vital and important role in restoring the recreational, scenic and commercial value of lakes, ponds, rivers and streams.

Rotenone, an extract derived from the roots of certain tropical plants, is the most widely used piscicide. Prentox® Rotenone Fish Toxicant Powder is ideal for large aquatic areas and delivers the strongest active ingredient available. Plus, Rotenone Fish Toxicant Powder may be used in conjunction with rotenone liquid products for added dispersion in high-vegetation areas.
