Crayfish
I'm a new pond owner. I now have a pond approximately one half acre in size.
It seems to have a problem with crayfish. There are burrows & some "mud castles" all around the yard. Those close to the pond seem to be weakening the bank. How can I control these burrow makers? They really cover my two acre plot. Thanks Al |

Hi Al!
Welcome to RPM! I found this interesting article here http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/fisheries...3/420-253.html (it even includes a recipe...) I'd be interested to know what you think of the advise they offer. k :-) http://tinyurl.com/6bguh ~ new pond keeper info http://tinyurl.com/yp64db ~ slide show of pond |

From what I've read, I think I'll try the trap route. As for eating, I'll
see how many and how big they are. I have Bluegill and bass in the lake. The crayfish may explain how I can have such large bass.. Al "kthirtya" wrote in message oups.com... Hi Al! Welcome to RPM!

dimilin is found in anchors away. I guess I would give it a try.
Ingrid http://www.singaporekoiclub.com/know...ication.html#d Dimilin Dimilin® is a trademarked brand name for diflubenzuron. Dimilin® / diflubenzuron is one of many "benzoylphenylurea compounds" which are not pesticides but are regarded as IDI (insect development inhibitors). Other compounds in this category include "Program", "LarvaDex", etc. About Diflubenzuron and other benzoylphenylurea compounds: * Insect gyrase stops crustacean moulting, ends the life cycle of parasites you can see, like Anchor Worm and Fish Lice. * Dimilin These parasites are cleared in 3 - 4 days. * Dose: One gram per 3785 l. * Mix well in water, distribute evenly around pond. Many people use a plastic gallon jug and shake it well. * Non toxic to filter, fish or plants ------- * Will kill crayfish, dragonflies, etc. Dimilin® is not, and can not be, toxic to your fish at any dose. Even though it is not water soluble, it works like a charm. |

On topic snippet ~ when my folks lived in the South for three years Dad had crayfish boils for company picnics. Crayfish, potatoes and corn. We really enjoyed our visits to the South. k :-) |

I wasn't born Cajun. But my heart became a born-again coonass the day I ate boil crawfish, red potatoes, & corn for the first time. ;-) Aw eeee. -- + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Chris Barnes AOL IM: CNBarnes Yahoo IM: chrisnbarnes "Usenet really is all about standing around and hitting the ground with clubs, on a spot where many years earlier a dead horse lay." |
