there not tad poles but look the same what are they?
i have a small pond in my garden only had it for a week there are lots of little things that look like tad poles but no frog sporn what can they be and how can i get rid of them iv tryed emptying pond but when i refill they come back iv also tryed clorine
It depends on the size of the things. If they're roughly the size of tadpoles, they could be toad tadpoles or newt tadpoles. They don't produce a mass of frogspawn, but strings of it.
If they're _much_ smaller, then they could be mosquito larvae - no frogspawn and they appear within days of a puddle appearing. Definitely not dragonfly larvae - they don't swim or look like tadpoles, but build a little armoured tube around themselves for protection and crawl around on the bottom
The simplest thing is to leave them for a few weeks and see what emerges.
But why bother trying to get rid of them anyway? Frogs, toads and newts do a valuable service eating garden pests like slugs, while mosquitoes are a good food source for birds. I wouldn't waste my energies trying to kill off something that may be harmless at worst and may be helpful to you as a gardener at best. And chlorine will poison the water for any living thing.
Hope this helps!
