Poisson Chat Control

The removal of unwanted species like Poisson Chat will bring your pond's fish population into an optimal, balanced state. This will in turn lead to better fish growth rate and reduced feeding cost.

Poisson Chat Control is a time consuming task and requires a large number of traps to be successful. Here at Castle Lakes we offer a comprehensive trapping service to remove Poisson Chat from your lake or fishery. Ring us today to discus your problems.

Lake Liming Service

Pond liming is an essential step in neutralizing the acidity of your lake or fishery, with the aim of bringing your ponds pH level into a neutral state perfect for aquatic plants, animals and fish.

Fish and other aquatic creatures can become stressed in water with a high acidity. This stress results in a reduced resistance to disease, less successful reproductive cycles and a slower overall growth rate and level of health.

Natural Limestone in powder form is an inexpensive, non-toxic mineral that naturally reduces the acidity in your lake or fishery. The application of lime in proper amounts spread evenly over a body of water will ultimately begin to bring the water and lake bed into a state of balance resulting in a more productive aquatic environment.

Water Quality Service

Testing your water quality on a regular basis is an important part of maintaining a healthy environment for your fish. Here at Castle Lakes we offer a full and comprehensive water quality testing service. The test results allow us to properly address the specific problems of a water quality in your lake or fishery. This will help ensure that the water quality is being properly maintained, and the appropriate treatment is selected and operated properly if required.
