Question:
How do I keep Herons out of my koi pond?
 |
| Heron and Egrets |
Answer:
There are a few ways to keep Great Blue Herons and their cousins the Snowy Egrets out of your pond.
1. When you build the pond make the sides steep Herons and Egrets don’t like deep water; Remember Herons and Egrets are wading birds they like to wade into a pond.
2. Put fishing line (mono) about 18˝ high and 6 to 8˝ from the pond all the way around; this keeps Herons and Egrets from walking into your pond.
3. The two best ways to discourage Herons and Egrets are bird netting around the pond, or use one or more Scarecrows around the pond. The Scarecrow shoots a stream of water at Herons and Egrets when they come around the pond.
