Get a stick and twirl it through the weed. If you can't be bothered to poke through it to rescue beasties, just leave it on the side of the pond so they can slither and crawl back into the water. Do this in stages always leaving some of the weed in the pond. The easiest way to cut down on blanket weed is to have plants shading the surface, either floating plants or marginals
