Colourful fish in a clear pond are an easy prey for herons. In spring herons are on the search for food for their young. During summertime, when the young herons will have fledged, they are standing themselves fishing on the waterside. In autumn the supply of food for herons is limited and pond fish are an easy prey then. Fish are the main feed of a heron. With his long bill he can also wound large specimen perilously. After a successful effort the heron will return until the pond has been fished out. The motion sensor of the Laser Guard will detect arriving intruders and has a range of about 12 meters at an angle of 100 degrees. The motion sensor of the Velda laser guard animal deterrent will detect such arriving intruders.
This guide provides essential information for pond owners seeking to protect their fish from herons using the Velda Laser Guard. It's designed for anyone experiencing heron predation, offering a non-lethal solution to deter these birds. A key benefit is the early detection and deterrent of herons, but note that consistent placement and monitoring are essential for optimal results.
