How does the Laser Guard work?
It reacts on its own, only when something moves in its zone.
-
It detects
Its motion sensor watches the bank up to about 12 m, over a 100° angle.
-
It reacts
It starts a 60-second programme: light flashes, green lasers, then sound if you wish.
-
It varies
The programme changes from one trigger to the next, to limit the heron getting used to it.
Illustrative images (including the header video).
When is it active?
The Laser Guard works during the day. It switches on and off by itself with daylight.
- Switches back onDawnIt starts up again automatically at daybreak.
- On watchDaytimeEvery movement in its zone triggers the 60 s programme.
- Switches offDuskIt stops automatically at nightfall.
- InactiveNightIt does not work at night.
Herons often come very early in the morning. If one arrives before the device activates, or if it is already used to your pond, add a barrier along the edge: see the laser + barrier combination.
In spring as in autumn and winter: install it from the very first visit, because a heron that has caught a fish comes back.
Range and coverage
The sensor reaches about 12 m over a 100° angle: enough to cover the bank of a garden pond.
- Place it where the heron lands, usually the shallowest bank, and point it towards that spot.
- Clear the detection zone – branches or plants moving in the wind can trigger it for nothing.
- Move it or change its direction from time to time, to keep the surprise effect.
Installation and power supply
A tube to plant at the edge of the pond and a transformer to plug into a protected socket.
- Assemble the tube and push it 25 cm into the ground, vertically, at the edge of the pond.
- Point the front towards where the heron comes from.
- Clear moving branches and plants from the detection zone.
- Plug the transformer in at a dry spot, protected by a 30 mA residual-current circuit breaker.
- Choose ON, or MUTE to keep the flashes and lasers without sound.
Do not aim it at people and let your neighbours know, especially children. It also scares off cats and other animals that come near.

Going further: laser + barrier
The Laser Guard scares herons off during the day. A barrier along the edge (stretched line, fence or net) stops the heron from getting into the water, even at dawn when the device is not yet active. Together, they cover each other's weak points.
This is the combination our experts recommend if the heron comes early in the morning or already knows your pond.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Laser Guard keep herons away?
When the sensor detects movement, the device starts a 60-second programme: flashes, green lasers, then sound if ON mode is selected.
Does it work at night?
No. It switches off automatically at nightfall and back on at dawn.
What about early morning?
It switches back on at dawn. Herons often come very early: if you see one before the device activates, add a barrier along the edge, such as the Heron Stop line kit.
Can the heron get used to it?
The programme varies with each trigger to limit habituation. To keep the surprise effect, move the device or change its direction from time to time. If a heron is already used to your pond, add a line or a net along the edge.
What area does it cover?
The sensor reaches about 12 m, over a 100° angle.
Is it triggered by the wind?
The sensor reacts to movement: branches or plants moving in the zone can trigger it. Clear the detection zone and point it towards the spot where the heron lands.
Can the sound be switched off for the neighbours?
Yes, MUTE mode keeps the flashes and lasers without the sound.
How is it powered?
By the transformer supplied (220-240 V input, 24 V DC output) and a 5 m cable. Plug it in at a dry spot, protected by a 30 mA residual-current circuit breaker. It uses 7.2 W.
Is it dangerous?
According to the manufacturer, it is harmless to people and animals apart from the scaring effect. Do not aim it at people and let your neighbours know, especially children.
What warranty does Foudebassin offer?
3 years: 2 years manufacturer, plus 1 year offered by Foudebassin. Spare parts are in stock in case of a problem.
