I have a small waterfall, pond in the back yard. I have gold fish and a red ear slider turtles in the pond. I need to know what to spray the black widow spider that lives in the waterfall and other bugs that are eating my plants.
The best option for use around water like streams, ponds and lakes is ESSENTRIA IC. This concentrate is made with all natural food grade actives and will not pose a hazard to people, wildlife or aquatic life in the pond. In fact its one of the only products that can be used in these areas safely.
Mix 8 oz per gallon of water and apply it with any standard PUMP SPRAYER. It will definitely handle the black widow spider as as well as any insect targeting your plants.
Essentria is labeled for use over water like ponds and lakes so it won’t pose a hazard to the local aquatic life either.
For small areas, a good pump sprayer will do the job.
But if you’re treating 1/4 acre or more, get one of our foggers. It will make the job easy and you’ll get 10 times the coverage. So one gallon sprayed with the pump sprayer will only cover 1,000 sq/ft. Using our fogger, you’ll get 10,000 sq/ft of coverage.

I am building a koi pond near my deck where we entertain. What mosquito and larvae killer can be used, also safe for dogs/pets?

The Essentria above is the best option for the land, plants, etc. around the pond. In a fogging machine, very effective and won’t hurt any wildlife or your fish. Its even labeled for use on animals as a dip.
For the water, the dunks are best.
