Keeping a trap in the pond and checking it most daily would be my first instinct, but I suspect that would be a forever means of trying to keep up. An effective seining would put a bigger dent in the population if you could tell them apart from the desirables. I would have trouble with that personally. I suppose caging the questionable ones until ID could be made would be an option...I'm making myself tired thinking about the time and work involved.
Maybe, you should just make friends with them??? Kinda like moles and possums at the country home...the sooner you name them, the sooner you can get on to other things. I have not made frineds with the armadillo...YET!
Let me know if you get into seining if you could use some help...I could use the experience as I have never done it. I can swim, however.
