We had 7 large goldfish going into winter. We now have two. About a month ago, things were stirred up in our goldfish pond and water plant pots overturned. That means one thing – raccoons. Obviously, one got in the pond and caught most of the dormant fish. Last summer, coons raided our pond and ate all our large snails – and at about $5 a pop.
But no more, or at least we hope there will be no more midnight raccoon raids thanks to The Pond Guy and a gizmo called “Night Guard Solar.”
Night Guard Solar utilizes a solar panel to charge an energy efficient LED light. And an automatic photosynthesis switch so the unit will turn on when you need it to. The flashing red light throughout the night imitates the reflection of an eye of another predator, such as a coyote or a bobcat. This spooks and discourages the nighttime intruders and causes them to leave the area.
The Night Guard activates each evening at dusk. It is water-proof, completely sealed and comes with a 1 year warranty.
Nancy discovered the product at the Pond Guy, who helped answer her questions about both water plants and nighttime predators.
Night Guard Solar can be used year-round to protect a pond or a garden. Affix it at the approximate eye level of the intruder. It’s effective it on blue herons, hawks, raccoons, deer, foxes, opossums, bobcats, coyotes, muskrats, bears, cougars, mountain lions, wild boar, minks, skunks, wolves and weasels. I wish it worked for telemarketers.
Try this if you have a deer problem. If you’d like more information, go to Thepondguy.com. I really believe this will work.
