Is there any algaecide that can be used in California ? Do you need an appliers certification ?

Thanks

I have read somewhere that the use of straw bales in ponds and lagoons has been used for reducing algal growth. Probably googlable for a full article on it. And I imagine as it is a 'natural' remedy that it will be acceptable for Calif. regulations.

One favorite used to be copper sulfate or copper hydroxide. It's still used in many pesticides, and probably as an algaecide. Another possibility is chlorine.
