My solution to pests and cloudy water

I was battling algae/cloudy water and likely a curious racoon. Bog filter + 2 massive sponge filters and I could only get the cloudiness to go away for a day or so. Covered it with a raft from my pool for a few days and ignored it. When I checked, the water was crystal clear. Had to make something that I could close at night for the racoon, a screen at night wasn’t cutting it, combined with something I could keep closed if I need to black out the pond again.

Did you mention yellow jackets?

This is one of the wasp jobs this week. Customer said the maintenance guy saw one nest. I found 3. Shout out to the guy who got stung up his pant leg 😂
