Thanks for the response any info is greatly appreciated.


It all depends on the pond size and the extent of your weed problem. If they are getting big they are probably not eating much of your weeds anyway. The larger they get the less the eat believe it or not.

Does your DNR have a recommended number per acre depending on the extent of your weeds? Some other states do.

Good luck removing them. They are quite difficult to catch and actually a very intelligent species.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
