Has anything been invented that will eradicate this stuff?

I think i have tried every solution on the market 'It is the very best Sir' Oh yea the bloody thing thrives on it

Would a self contained skimmer ( my pump has not got an inlet for one) be any good,, Sucks the stuff into the sieve and emptied twice a week

It is just a normal garden pond, no million pound koi type of thing

I have heard grass carp love the stuff, any truth?

Best of luck and let me know if you ever do. I have previously ‘eradicated’ duckweed down to ‘no bits to be seen’. bd stuff still comes back at every opportunity. Nothing whatsoever seems to work, but if I hook it out in netloads it does sseem to keep it under controlish

I’ve never noticed any of my Fish do anything except lurk under it, but only have some Koi and no grass carp

I think your title is pretty accurate! I’ve already added it to cockroaches on th what would survive a nuclear war list

I must have netted out tons off the stuff this year.

It's indestructible.
