desperate for advice please
you! You could buy an old half barrell and line it with plastic and make a pond out of it with a ramp so frogs etc can get in and out. You can put bricks in it to make shelves for water plants etc and you then may get dragonflies. In addition, hedghogs by clints

environmental responsiblity
My neighbour has used creasote about 20 ft away from our pond full of frog spawn and nesting birds.  It smells aweful and leaves a film on the pond.  This product was banned in 2003 for gardeners and must be the worst product ever used in gardens by budlia63

Slugs,Snails,Dogs & Young kids??
for the birds. Have a bit of an untidy log pile somewhere (with plenty of gaps) and hopefully you'll have a frog or two or hedgehog move in and eat the blighters Beer traps, with a couple of sticks planted nearby to stop the dogs having a party (have dogs myself by Squawk

blanketweed
I have a small pond that attracts newts, frogs and other wildlife.  Despite having oxygenating plants, floating plants, a barley straw bag, a solar powered oxygenator and using biological products from garden centres I am still removing blanketweed by rose307
