Raccoon Repellent | Pond Protection From Herons

Residential & Commercial Predatory Bird & Aquatic Invasive Species Control

Managing Wildlife Safely & Effectively

HERON CONTROL

When unwelcomed species invade your waterbodies, it can be difficult to maintain the water feature properly. Wildlife is difficult to control, so if you are dealing with an invasive species, it’s imperative that you handle their removal correctly. No harm is ever performed to the animals managed under our scope.

GEESE CONTROL

The reason geese are such a big problem is because they can significantly damage your lawn or turf. They can also cause excessive amounts of nutrients to enter your waterbody, messing up its ecological makeup.

RACOON & PEST CONTROL

Racoons and other pests can damage your fish, turtles, and even kill them. Sadly enough, we’ve had customers buy beautiful koi fish, only to find out the local racoons and pests are a big issue. Setting up barriers without removing beauty from the water features is a must.

Protecting Your Koi Fish, Turtles, & Wildlife

GEESE CONTROL SERVICES

If you see geese hoarding in your outdoor space, our team is well-equipped to help you repel the population with these geese control methods:

Bird repellent applied to your grass and turf. This repellent is odorless and will remain on your grass even after mowing it several times.
Swan decoys to get rid of geese. The two species do not get along, so putting up decoys will scare your geese away.
Never physically touch or remove geese as most times this is illegal. All methods we use are in compliance with local regulations and never harm the animals in any way.

MOSQUITO MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Mosquitos are dangerous because they can carry deadly diseases. Aside from that, they are extremely annoying and known to bite and lay hundreds of eggs at a time.

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways our team can help you effectively manage mosquito populations. These mosquito control methods include:

Creating a vegetative buffer surrounding your water feature to attract dragonflies, which prey on mosquitoes.
Installing a fountain or aeration system. Mosquito larvae need still water, so creating movement in the water feature will help control mosquito life.

ZEBRA AND QUAGGA MUSSEL SERVICES

Zebra mussels are small freshwater mollusks that have a distinct zigzag pattern on the shell. Initially, they were only found in the Great Lakes, but their populations have expanded to 28 states.

It’s important that you take steps to eradicate the population because they reproduce rapidly. Here are some Zebra and Quagga mussel control strategies that we can help you implement:

Thoroughly examine any equipment that has touched a waterbody for signs of zebra & quagga mussel life.
Remove plants, animals, and mud from your waterbody
Drain water from your boat’s bilge, transom, and motor.
Dump unused bait.

MIDGES MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT

Midges are small flying insects that are known to bite people and animals. They are typically found near beaches, lakes, rivers, or creeks. Midge flies thrive in swampy areas. Midge flies are common near these types of waterbodies because they reproduce in water.

They are also attracted to areas with low water quality and excessive nutrient levels. Aside from being a nuisance, they can be hazardous to residents in the surrounding area. Here are more impacts of midge flies:

Midges can collect on cars and other surfaces, causing damages and stains.
Cause an unpleasant odor.
Bites and red, itchy marks.
Cause an upsurge in spider population since midges are food for spiders.

Effective midge control strategies that we can help you adopt:

Ensure your water quality is balanced.
Install mesh screens to prevent entry into homes.
Strategically place CO2 traps.
Ensure you have a number of predatory fishes to eat midge larvae.
Install aeration system to increase levels of dissolved oxygen.

APPLE-SNAIL MANAGEMENT & TREATMENT

Apple snails are small freshwater snails that dramatically impact ecological areas because of their feeding habits and rapid reproduction. They eat large sums of vegetation and even other types of snails. By doing this, they affect the composition of nutrients in whatever waterbody they reside in.

They are amphibious creatures, meaning they can thrive both in and out of water. They are able to reproduce outside of their water column, which allows them to avoid predators. Because of this, it’s difficult to control their populations.

To remove apple snails from your waterbody:

Install barriers and screens where water enters and leaves your waterbody.
Seek out hydro-raking and harvesting services. These are physical approaches to removing invasive species. While they require a fair bit of labor, it is a safe way to remove apple snails without harming any other species in the water features.

My brother hired Lake Management to clean and repair our parents pond in Montebello. Wes and his crew were very professional very knowledgeable about how koi ponds are built maintenance and overall operations for koi ponds. I highly recommend Wes and his crew at Lake Management to work on any of your pond issues. Wes, keep up the great work .Thanx again

I had just moved into a house with a neglected, pool-size koi pond and no instructions. The water was murky green and the equipment required daily cleaning from disgusting swamp filth. With Lake Management, everything they do is custom- nothing pre-fab. Wes stands by his work and does not cut corners, meaning that you won’t get shoddy equipment or poor workmanship. Great work!

I rarely write comments for a company but it is imperative that I provide my thoughts for the homeowner who is seeking assistance with a small pond. , I moved to a home where the pond had been idle/non functioning for five years. I called and found out that this family owned company put in the pond many years ago. It w exciting to hear the history It has been a pleasure working with Wes.
