First year pond owner here also. I noticed a lot of water bugs earlier in the year and I sprayed some Dawn dish washing liquid on the water to reduce the surface tension which seemed to get rid of the water bugs. Then not long after that, I started seeing "Great Diving Beetles" and while Dawn does seem to make them go into a frenzy, it doesn't get rid of them.

I'm looking for the suggestions of others also.

Thanks
