No Herons!
While herons may be beautiful (and protected) birds, they’re not so attractive when snacking on our “aqua kids”. After unsuccessful attempts with a koi decoy, alligator and fake heron, we finally found a solution for stopping those heartwrenching heron attacks ~ the Scarecrow by Contech.
This motion activated sprinkler is attached to your garden hose and bursts forth a powerfully effective blast when predators come near. No hazardous poisons, no harm done to any unwanted visitors.
The Scarecrow uses a 9 volt battery which lasts for 3000+ activations. We purchased ours at Green Thumb Nursery. They are also available online at safepetproducts.com.
