I have a small (150 gallon) pond that has a serious tadpole problem.
Is there a way to control them?


Not really, but you can try. For the most part, I try to enjoy them,
but I don't try to save them when they get in my way. When I vacuum
out the sediment barrel I usually get a bunch in the vacuum and dump
them. I don't see the volume of toads or tadpoles going down because
of it.

Watching kids catch them is fun. Don't let them surprise their mom
though.
