I question how many frogs the turtles are eating. As far as I know snapping turtles do not eat a lot of frogs. However wading birds eat a lot of frogs. Often a fair percentage of frogs move out of the pond/wetland/bog during summer to forage on invertebrates. Expect that to occur especially now since you removed all the cattails. Maybe consider replanting either dwarf or ornimental cattails or the smaller cattail species (Typha angustifolia). Keep them restricted to a specific area with manual cutting or a herbicide such as aquatic approved glysophate product applied in late summer or fall.
