You'll need a set of pond cover netting pegs to hold the net securely around the perimeter because determined cats and foxes can easily tear or rip lighter pond cover nets. Since alligators are not native to the UK and Europe, these decoys are unlikely to work as well for grey herons as they won’t know to be afraid of them, so we would only recommend alligator decoys for blue heron control. The Pond Protector comes complete with transformer, 10 synthetic stakes, 80 metres of electric fence, connectors and instructions for use. The electric wire has a length of 80 metres, which is sufficient to protect 40 metres of pond side with two wires. Product The Solar Pond Oxygenator is perfect to have on hand in sunny weather when pond oxygen levels deplete and are at their lowest. This ingenious and efficient pond oxygenating device uses the sun to help keep your fish healthy and your pond clean and algae-free.
Often pond owners attribute their fish dying over winter to the cold, but it’s more commonly caused by buildup of sludge (waste) which has been left to decompose and build to dangerous levels. During this process, oxygen levels in the pond drop, and harmful ammonia and nitrite levels rise, which places a huge amount of stress on pond fish. Benefits of Quality Pond Netting Pond netting helps trap debris and also deters predators, such as herons. Garden Ponds are attractive to Herons because they often provide them with very easy fishing. Some form of pond protection is vital if you have fish in your pond and you would prefer not to receive these un-wanted visitors.Since the goal of most heron deterrents is to cause panic and scare the heron into flight, what better way than by showing them a picture of themselves! Although this is an often overlooked method of deterring herons, it actually works surprisingly well for smaller garden ponds.
Fallen leaves are often considered just a visual problem, but not removing them before they have a chance to sink can cause all sorts of issues. As leaves and other organic matter sink to the bottom of your pond, they begin to decompose and contribute to sludge. During the decomposition process bacteria break down the waste and compounds are released into the pond that can harm fish and promote the overgrowth of algae. A second option to stop herons from eating pond fish is to try to install pond fencing or wire around the perimeter of the pond. If you can stop herons from getting to the sides of the pond, they won’t be able to effectively hunt for fish. Although sometimes more effective than pond netting, fencing is more noticeable and harder to maintain. Using thin wiring for fencing is a popular middle-ground, as it’s strong enough to stop predators getting near the water but small enough to not be visually distracting.Herons and Garden Ponds Blue herons are incredibly common at ponds, lakes, and wetlands in the U.S.. Public domain. The lightweight design means the pond protectors float on the surface of the water, creating a protective layer. We have a small spring fed pond that drains into a larger pond downhill at our vacation mountain house. The pond was in disrepair when we bought the property three years ago, and although we saw one goldfish at that time, we never saw it again and assumed that it died.
