If you have a lot of raccoons or other small furry tailed predators in your neighborhood avoid planting hedges or bushes around the perimeter of your pond. These bushes provide an ideal hiding place for critters that may want to feast on your fish for supper.
I have a 2x1/2 ft deep pond in my backyard and am looking for some ideas to keep the raccoons from eating my fish. I would prefer not to put an electric wire surrounding the pond.
