When we bought our house about 5 years ago, it had a murky pond in the garden. I recently installed a UV water clarifier and now the water is crystal clear.
Since doing this, we have noticed a lot more wildlife in the pond, but have recently found a few leaches around the pond edge.
This leads me to 3 questions:

Since doing this, we have noticed a lot more wildlife in the pond, but have recently found a few leaches around the pond edge.
This leads me to 3 questions:
- How common are leaches in the UK?
- Should we try and get rid of them, as both kids regularly play in the garden and we have cats & a rabbit which are always out too.
- If we should get rid of them, how can I do that without affecting everything else in the pond?
