Indeed you are lucky, Nedra. They attack my birch trees first. It would be
difficult to pick them out of the top. The worst part is the oily
substance they secrete that turns the pond water red. That can't be very
comfortable for the fish.
Thanks, Hank and Susan for your response.

I am able to hand pick the first ones that show up on my roses
thereby warding off most of the trailers....
I'm very lucky - from the sound of these posts.

enough yet to enjoy them as a snack, and they are causing a real

There are so many and they give off an oily substance that has turned
the
water reddish brown.

Anyone know how to deal with this?

Yeah, plant some roses. *sigh* No JBs in the pond but near decimated
rose bushes all over the property.
