Expert Pond Care is a Pond
Management company located just east of St Louis in
beautiful southwest Illinois. Our company is owned and
operated by Kent G. Bourbon, a Fisheries Biologist with
a BS Degree in Fisheries Resources and over 15 years
experience.
We believe a successful pond/lake management program
should begin with an overall pond/lake evaluation. We
provide a general overview of your pond/lake related to
water quality, aquatic and riparian vegetation, pond
structure and design as well as other related issues
that may arise.
For fish population analysis we provide Electrofishing,
by far the most accurate fish population diversity and
health evaluation method used today. We can also seine
or net if circumstances require. We will then analyze
the collected data and provide you with a report and any
recommendations we believe may improve your fishery if
needed.
For effective management we treat ponds/lakes with a
variety of effective methods and natural products to
create and/or maintain a healthy pond. We primarily use
windmills and electric aeration, ultrasonic sound and
pond dyes for aquatic plant and algae controls.
Chemicals may be used occasionally and only if
necessary. We also provide and install pond
structures, feeders, fish lighting and docks, as well as
fish stocking.
Expert Pond Care provides both the service
and the products to insure your pond or lake provides
the outdoor beauty you expect.
Our
online store
features the most common products for aeration, algae
control with sonic solutions, lighting, fish feeders and
even items geared to the huntsman during the off season
(hunting blinds, game feeders, etc). If you don' see
what you are looking for, contact us for more extensive
product options.
We provide a
variety of specialized services to help you fully
enjoy all of the benefits of waterfront property.
Our focus at Expert Pond Care is not only to make your
pond or lake productive but aesthetic. We believe that a
well managed pond creates an environment that can bring
families and friends together for endless and
unforgettable good times of fishing, swimming and just
plain fun.
Our families grew up enjoying the outdoors and fishing
together and now it's even more fun with all the kids
and grandkids.
Expert Pond Care now
offers SonicSolutions® ultrasonic algae control which
uses no chemicals and has proven to be
effective in personal, commercial
and industrial iinstallations.
Floating just below the
surface, the device operates 24-hours a day providing
coverage for up to 8 acres depending on conditions.
Multiple units can be installed for larger applications.
It is easy to install, requires almost no maintenance
and uses less than 10 watts of power. Runs on 120 VAC or
24 VDC with an optional Solar package for isolated
installations.
Ponds without oxygen can become stagnant
resulting in excess algae, muck on the bottom and even
fish kills.
