I am so sad for your dad, that is a long time to have fish and I totally know Koi are seriously expensive!<br />My sister lives near a mountain and she has a lot of trouble with herrings in the spring, and rock chucks (she lets the deer stay for now). She lets her son shoot as many rock chucks as he can get, they are digging huge holes under her brand new home, but even then they are never ending..<br />I am not sure what side of the bill your on, but we have found one way that pretty much guarantee's an end to wild animal problems when nothing else works.<br />Get a pellet gun, that way you can shoot it in the backyard without freaking the neighbors out. If the bird won't leave and keeps causing trouble, a shot should be all that is needed to remove it. If you don't want to shoot it directly, a few shots around it anytime it's at your dads pond will likely scare it from returning. <br />One thing about herrings is they don't stick around for a long time, they migrate. However depending on the weather and the area he could end up sticking around for several weeks. She had 4 herrings that took up residence in her backyard for a month and would chase them around, animal control couldn't remove them because they were on an endangered species list, but she didn't like them attacking her kids, and the pellet gun worked fabulously.Runaway Bridal Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436851320623647572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-11888158777548715272014-09-17T19:19:38.639-04:002014-09-17T19:19:38.639-04:00Oh my goodness!

It seemed pointless to try to keep it when all we were doing was feeding squirrels, so we pulled it out. I'm sorry about your dad's fish. It sounds like you're being proactive to prevent the problem in the future, though.
