Russ, yes there where turtles in the pond. Two snappers, pretty good size, and I saw one painter.

Bill,I did drain it down to allmost a puddle but the springs keep filling it up. I may have to pump again depending on the cost to kill at the current water level as to being drained more.

Anybody know of who to contact in Michigan around Hastings to spray for me or to pay to buy the rotenone?

Once again, thank you all for your help.
