Heron Scarers

How can I stop Herons eating my pond fish? A question we get asked from spring through to autumn every year! Thankfully, with decades of experience, and all the tools you could possibly need, we can help you protect your precious koi and other pond fish from any would be predators!

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to these clever birds of prey, but understanding their behaviour can be instrumental in preventing an attack. By far, the biggest weakness of a heron is its skittish nature. Many scarers capitalise on this by simply making noises, squirting water or releasing a low voltage jolt to spook the bird, causing it to fly away. This has been the most tried and tested method of defence and the best investment in fish protection.

Shirley Aquatics have a range of heron scarers from brands such as Velda, Oase and much more. You will be sure to find exactly what you need to stop the pond buffet in your back garden.
