Collection: Cormorants

Repel and chase away cormorants

Although cormorants are generally beneficial birds that help control fish populations in the wild, they can sometimes become a nuisance, especially when found in large numbers near fishponds, commercial fish farms, or water features near residential properties.

The nuisance may include overfishing of fishponds, causing damage to the ponds and surrounding buildings and structures, and spreading diseases and parasites that can be harmful to local wildlife.

To prevent nuisance caused by cormorants, various measures can be taken, such as placing nets over fish ponds to deter the cormorants, using reflective materials to deter the birds, or using acoustic and visual deterrents.

When managing cormorants, it is important to consider the protected status of these birds and to take measures that do not harm or kill the birds.
