Snakes in a pond
+3
Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove snakes (brown water snake I think) from a backyard pond. Our beautiful koi have been disappearing and I have seen this thug but don't know how to rid our pond of this nemesis, thanks in advance (live in NC).

I used to get them in my pool all the time, which makes for unhappy swimmers. I was told to. try an old deterrent of a line of surfer powder all the way around the perimeter and snakes wouldn't cross it. Now I had to keep it up especially if it rained. It smelled pretty bad but I haven't seen them since. I honestly do not know if that was it or they just went away, but it is worth a try. Those things are not poisonous but extremely aggressive and do not get scared away easily. Good luck!

I had a 9000 gallon pond about 20 feet from the river..Got them all the time.Mine was covered in rocks and if you are a lucky shot you can get them with a b b gun..Betwwen the rocks and the very heavy liner I did not have any leaks..A lot of them would hide under the water fall..Did not mind getting them there because it was above the water line and the b bs did not seem to bother anything..

You can also put mothballs out there..Be careful cause you do not want the pets getting them..

Owl statues will work also. They don't like to be prey
