Koi Pond Predators

koi pondNashvile real estate - Something I had never thought of, but some of my clients need to know. If you have a KOI pond, you have keep the predators away. Your pets could be a meal for many bird or mammals. Here are a few things that were passed to me from Tranquil Waterscapes.

A few ideas to help keep the predators at bay.

- Koi hide inside to protect themselves from predators
- Provides shade on sunny days
- Aluminum frame and fiberglass mesh
- Sits on the bottom of the pond

ScareCrow
- Motion activated sprinkler instantly releases a short but startling burst of water when it detects an animal, scaring them away
- Works day and night for up to 4 months on a single battery
- Sprays up to 35 feet
- Requires garden hose hookup and one 9-volt alkaline battery, not included.

Aqua Net
- 3/8" Mesh
- Protects against predators
- Ideal for keeping leaves and debris out of the pond
- Keeps new fish from jumping out
- Complete with durable metal anchor pins
- UV treated for longer life
- Available in 3 sizes (7' x 10', 14' x 20', 28' x 30')

Just remember: If your koi are hiding more than normal or are hesitant to surface when being fed, you may have a predator problem!
