Winter Pond Care and MINK Prevention Package
We offer a winter pond care and mink prevention package for the cold and snowy season. This package will offer peace of mind to pond owners with a pond expert visiting your pond once a month. This package will span the months of January, February and March. We will start our Mink prevention service at time of your pond winterization. During our visits we will visually inspect your fish, check the opening in the ice and make adjustments if necessary, continue to add beneficial bacteria, and prepare your pond to deter mink from eating your fish. Although our method is not full proof we have seen great results in deterring the mink during the winter. Should your de-icer or aerator stop working you can call us and we will be out to replace it with no service call fees, product replacement costs will apply. This package is great for those who leave NJ for the winter.
