I have 2 long ponds on the other side of 2 terraces, some 3 - 4 meters from the house

Apart from the incessant almost daily cleaning of the freeking termites , after some nice, but very welcome rain

the 2 ponds now have " A lot " of little tadpoles that will in turn become bigger and apart from being rather gross things , they are certainly snake attracting .

 

Is there anything i can put in the pond water that will  eliminate / terminate  the tadpoles.

and maybe deter Mama from returning

 

Thanks.

Earth...lots of it.

Forgot to mention,

there are No Fish, No Pets

just rocks, pebbles, pumps and bubblers

Chlorine/bleach should do the trick. Other than that, drain and clean.

Thai peasants. For brunch & supper.

Yes, invite the neighbors as luuk kop are quite the delicacy to many Knon Muang .  At least it will greatly reduce the numbers and they will return the following year.

You want to kill the tadpoles ! , what's wrong with people , some people want to kill anything

that moves or comes into their space , Frogs are having problems all over the World , should

be protecting them not killing them , I am happy when I see Tadpoles , frogs in my pond.

Well happily enough , i have " relocated " almost all of them to another body of water

nothing killed, no toxic chemicals, just a tadpole free pond...
