For license requirements, do a google on "rotenone application license"...

For IDNR specifically and Indiana, see...

http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/fish/fishing/faqpond.htm

And in that...

"Who can purchase and use rotenone to remove fish from private ponds?

Rotenone, labeled as a fish toxicant and sold under several brand names, is a restricted use pesticide. Dealers must be specifically registered to sell this product. Dealer requirements include record-keeping and sale only to certified users. The product can only be sold to and used by certified applicators with approval under a license for Category 5: Aquatic Pest Control in private or public waters. Farmers or other landowners who are certified for use of other restricted products would not automatically have this approval. Questions on dealer registration and applicator certification can be directed to the Indiana State Chemist and Seed Commissioner’s Office, Purdue University, 765-494-6271."


And do a google on "rotenone price fish removal", and among others, you get this...


Price/Cost?

http://www.ngpc.state.ne.us/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=012647

"Cost per acre to chemically renovate a lake with rotenone? Well, that depends on the price you get on rotenone and how much water there is. Figure it this way, with most formulations of rotenone we use 1 gallon of rotenone/acre-foot of water. A 20-acre sandpit with an average depth of 10 feet would have 200 acre-feet of water. I do not know what the going rate is on rotenone, but $60/gallone might be in the ball-park. That would mean $12,000 in rotenone cost alone.

Does that make sense?

Not sure but I think we are the only ones who sell aquatic RUP's(Restricted Use Pesticides) in Indiana. Rotenone must be purchased by a licensed category 5 applicator for aquatics. We have been selling Rotenone for about $80-90 per gallon and that is in the 5 gallon container(which means you have to buy a minimum of 5 gallons). The price changes and you have to get a current cost from the manufacturer everytime you buy it. It is also available in 1 gallon containers. Most distributors do not keep this product on site and have it shipped directly from the manufacturer in Georgia which adds another $100-$150 depending on where you are. The state chemist located at Purdue can help you further with more info.
