How do you you get rid of water snail pests in ponds?

Answer 1

Three things to do in order to get rid of pest snails in pond.

1. Decrease feeding.

Snails feed on leftover fish food. Get rid of their food source will limit their population growth.

2. Manually removal.

Use vegetables to set up trap for them. You can remove a dozen or two at a time. Might not seem to be a lot at first when you have hundreds or thousands of pest snails, but eventually you will see noticeable drop in their population.

3. Get assassin snails, or puffer and loach fish to feast on them.

These natural enemies of the pest snails will eat them for food.
