bloodworms and murky water in a backyard pond

Question

Answer
HI Laurie,
 Bloodworms cannot cause cloudiness.  Most likely you have a bloom of bacteria that is causing the cloudiness.  Do you have some sort of filter on the pond?   Bacterial blooms can be caused by too many nutrients in the water (overfeeding, or lack of proper filtration are typical causes).
