That wouldn't necessarily eliminate a problem. aiui, there are leeches
that like mammalian blood, and there are others that will prey on fish or
frogs. So you could eliminate the yuck factor, but not the hazard to your
koi :-( Derek

Come on Derek, try to keep up. That was a joke (note winky face?).

Yeah, yeah. I was just pointing out that there are other reasons to be
concerned about leeches than the fact that they may attach themselves to
you or the dogs.

Besides, the OP didn't have fish in the pond. ~ jan

otoh, I missed that pertinent fact :-)
