So here's the deal, I have a new pond going in next to an already restored wetland. I will be removing tile and building a dike to retain the water leaving my wetland. I have a pond I put in a few years back, which was simply dug on the edge of the same wetland. The pond is a wildlife pond and has many critters that use it. There are plenty of Muskrats that like to tunnel around the edges. However I'm thinking I don't need any tunnels in my new dike. I got a tip to lay an old chain link fence along dike and bury it. This is said to keep the rats out. Anybody ever try, or even hear of this?
