Hello from Oklahoma

[OKC08GT500]

I am retired and purchased a house that has a koi pond with eight koi ranging from eight inches in length to twenty-four inches in length. There is also three babies that were born last year. I am seeking advice on how to rid the pond of a juvenile water mocasin that has taken up residence. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum. How big is your pond.?

I just read that black snakes eat water moccasins. Some get black snakes when they have the problem with water moccasins.

Welcome from ALTUS. You can call any of your local pest control people. They're used to coming out to get critters like that.

I like to watch that exterminator guy on tv..........Billy the Exterminator or something like that. He usually catches the critters and re-locates them unless they are wasps or rats etc. What does a water moccasin eat?
