Overview
Heron Solutions, trading as Heron Deterrent and based in Worcester, is a specialist business operating within the pond protection and aquatic predator deterrent sector. The company has developed a purpose-designed modular floating deterrent system that prevents herons and other predators from accessing ornamental and garden ponds, and the core product is protected by a granted UK patent, providing a meaningful barrier to entry within this clearly defined niche.
Heron predation is a persistent and costly problem for pond and koi owners across the UK, with traditional deterrent methods such as netting and visual scare devices widely regarded as unattractive, impractical, or ineffective over time. Heron Solutions addresses this with a humane, discreet, and physically effective system that preserves pond aesthetics while offering reliable protection. The business has operated on a low-overhead, owner-managed basis and presents a compelling platform for relaunch and development under new ownership, with the owner now offering the business for sale to pursue other interests.
