Thank you both for the response.

Is their any chemical you can purchase that can completely get rid of
it?

I think anything that would kill the duckweed would also kill any other
plantlife in the pond.


and probably the fish too.

Once in a pond it's almost impossible to eradicate it without emptying the
pond, letting it dry, scrubbing it out, letting it dry, and carefully
washing all plants before you put them back. One piece not seen and it's
back to square one again.
