If you have aeration in your pond, I wouldn't worry about killing them all with Fluridone. They die slowly, and with the aeration in there it will help greatly. If you don't kill them all now before they set their turions, I'd hit the pond in late September or October with the fluridone to kill them. That way you won't have a bunch to deal with in the Spring and the colder water holds more O2.
