Lots of herbicides out there you can mix with a surfactant that will do the job just fine and not hurt your pond or fish. Once the plants turn completely yellow I would remove them to keep them from decomposing in the pond. But be sure they turn completely yellow as this tells you the chemical has reached the tubers.

If you try to just pull them or cut them they will come back. Been there done that.


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