Blanket weed on small wildlife pond

Good morning We have got blanket weed on our small pond but we also have a lot of wildlife. What I would like to know, is it better to remove the blanket weed going through it very carefully in case there is any pond life in it or is it better to leave it until the tadpoles have grown as we wonder if they use it for cover? We have also bought some blanket weed solution called 'Stop Blanket Weed' made by Evolution Aqua which is supposed to be safe to use with tadpoles, but we are afraid it might harm them. Any advice would be appreciated. PS We have also got dragon fly larvae and water boatmen.
