The Heron Scarer is a new and novel product developed solely to protect vulnerable pond areas from attack from Herons. It is easy to fit and has proved very effective.
• With hungry herons able to pick off valuable fish stocks with ease, this scarer works by keeping herons away from the edge of the water by effectively creating a perimeter fence of lines at differing heights and widths. • Easy to install and suitable for all pond design shapes and sizes, this versatile solution is inobtrusive and blends well into the scenery. • Adapted from the design of the Y-Stake products, the Heron Scarer has evolved to effectively protect vulnerable pond areas from attack. • The products work by keeping Herons away from the edge of the pond (where the hungry creatures will happily stand and fish) by creating a fence of lines at different heights and widths effectively surrounding the pond and protecting valuable fish stock. • This system is very easy to install and is suitable for all sizes of ponds. • Kit includes 4 x 1ft Y-stakes, 4 x 2ft Y-stakes and 100m of clear line
