Pond leeches

[DoubleD1996!]

As if i weren't dealing with enough.Found some small leeches in the pond today on a clam.

Nothing on the turtles so far.

I don't want to have to catch all the turtles and fish and drain it.

So, what can I do to get rid of them. I know aquarium salt could work, but I'd have to dose it heavy. Are there any species of snail that specialize in eating them?

Or is there something safe I can pour in that won't harm anyone?

I’m no expert but google tells me
Some animals that eat leeches are ducks, smallmouth bass, crayfishes, redear sunfishes, bluegills, trouts, garter snakes, catfish, and turtles.
Some of those fish or crayfish might work?

I'll try stocking the pond with more, but my bass eat everything 😂
