Why on earth would you? If you really don't want them--OK, if they're snappers, I can understand--try looking for a (and I know this sounds crazy but) turtle rescue organization. There are lots of marine rescue centers on the coasts; look one up on Yahoo and see what comes up. Using an underwater herbicide will remove their food source but it will also sterilize your pond. Maybe you can learn to live together??

No real offense meant but doesn't it seem natural to you, that a POND is likely to ATTRACT turtles, as well as all other manner of wild life???
Artificial or natural, it's outdoors,,, I assume, and it's WATER, and open to the use and enjoyment of anything that walks, crawls, or flys,,,unless you defeat its purpose and screen it.
Unless you happen to be raising prize fish for hobby or income, and then a POND shouldn't be the habitat for them anyway,,, I suggest a few YARDS of dirt and some sod, if you want to keep nature at bay.

natural enemies: coons, possums, badgers, skunks,, all love turtle eggs.. 2. clean the pond, remove areas where they can sun easily. 3. remove thier food source... 4. get a .410 ga shot gun or a target .22 and learn to shoot well.. turtle soup..

ask anyone with a pond if they want them. most people would love to have turtles, unless theyre snappers

Why would you want to??? They eat alot of the pest and keep the pond scum down. Your really better with them than without them.

Killing them would be very very cruel.. You should see a manager of a PetSmart or even to your vet and find out who they can be given to.. Do not kill them.. They have a right to live you know

Pull em out. if ur pond is too big, then youll never get em all out neway. once you get em out, shoot the adults but save the babies so when theyre adults you can shoot em and have a bigger mess!
