Product Description

Want a convenient way to mark your airstone or diffuser location so that you can always find it? Just attach the ultra-realistic gator head to your airstone or your airstone housing bucket and you can retrieve it anytime you want. This allows you to visually see where the airstone has been placed plus allows you to raise the bucket using the attached rope to move it or check the airstone if needed. This gator head looks extremely realistic as it floats in the water. The other great benefit to having a gator head in your pond is that it scares away predators. Blue heron-feet's do not like alligators. If you're looking for a great way to mark your diffuser or a great way to scare off predators that eat your fish, then you need one of our gator heads. Made in the U.S.A. and hand painted to be extremely realistic. The eyes are a bright reflective red that will scare most predators away from your pond. Each has an eyelet in the bottom so you can attach a cord to secure it to the bottom. You can put 2 or even 3 out in your pond to really keep other birds and animals away.

  • MULTI-FUNCTIONAL POND PROTECTOR: This clever addition can easily mark diffusers and other aeration equipment, helping you keep track of vital components in your water feature. By placing the Floating Gator JR near your diffusers or other equipment, you not only protect your fish but also ensure that these crucial components are easily identifiable and accessible for maintenance. This dual functionality makes the Floating Gator a must-have accessory for any pond owner.
  • DURABLE URETHANE FOAM: The high-quality material ensures that your gator replica remains resilient against the elements, including UV rays, water exposure, and temperature fluctuations. The sturdy construction also provides stability, allowing the gator to float effortlessly while maintaining its realistic appearance over time.
  • CONVENIENT EYELET: This feature gives you the flexibility to choose whether you want your gator to float freely or remain stationary in a specific area of your water garden or pond. Simply attach a weight or anchor to the eyelet, and your gator will stay put, adding a touch of realism and functionality to your outdoor space.

Affect on Wild Life
by Mike (5 out of 5 stars)
March 4, 2018

Placed Ali in swamp on the rear of my property to support the irrigation pickup line. Works great for this purpose. As to questions about how well it works in intimidating swamp creatures I noted the following: Ducks and marsh hens continue to give Ali a wide birth and have moved their nesting areas on the opposite shore down 100 '. Neighbors gathered to gawk at the alligator and take pictures. Yesterday a great Herron walking the shore line stopped 10' from Ali and examined it for about 6 minutes then went through a vigorous display to spook the alligator. He then flew 20' over and past the alligator as discretion is the better part of valor. A large green turtle regularly sun bathes on Ali. From this I conclude the smartest of the swamp creatures is the green turtle!

Works Great
by DS (5 out of 5 stars)

We bought this for our garden pond, which is stocked with goldfish plus a few fancy goldfish and Koi. We have a hawk that spent all of last summer sitting on top of our gazebo, waiting for fish to come to the pond surface. Then he would swoop down and grab them. He ate most of the larger fish.

When we set the gator in the pond, the hawk spent a couple of days looping in figure eights over the yard looking at the gator, but he wouldn't land in the yard or near the pond. Wouldn't even land on the gazebo. He finally decided I guess that the gator isn't leaving, so he left instead.

If you have critters eating your fish, you need this gator. There is an eyelet on the underside so you use a tether and a weight to keep him in one spot.

Not impressed
by Sezil (1 out of 5 stars)

It did not help with scaring ducks away, my hopes were not great about this repelling impact but still gave a try thinking at least it could be I would worth to keep it as a fun/decorative floating figure inside the pool but the paint started to disappear only within a few days. Photos show the status of the areas paint coming off after 2 weeks. Not sure I would want kids touching/playing with this in the pool if the paint is dissolving like that. For the comparatively quite high price tag, I don't think it provides the quality value for the money.

Scares away the predators
by Syrbruce (5 out of 5 stars)

We had a crane living on our garage roof gazing hungrily at our (rather expensive) koi in our two ponds (there are about 20 fish). We added the gator head to the pond and the crane departed for less hostile environments. In addition to being an effective predator deterrent, this has served to be a source of amusement for guests who think the disembodied head is merely another yard decoration. I recommend this item as a relatively inexpensive and effective way to protect your koi or other pond creatures.

It looks neat in the pond. The paint has lasted so far. On the first day my dogs didn't know what to think about it.

Realistic!
by Debbie (5 out of 5 stars)
July 11, 2019

My children and I purchased this for my husband who thinks crocs and gators are so cool. I read the reviews and agreed that the red eyes looked very unrealistic. My daughter removed the red stickers on the eyes and painted the eyes a darker color. We put it in our pond and named it Charlie. It honestly looks so real, it's almost unbelievable. We have cattails and reeds and it just floats around the pond. People spot it and ask if it's real. We had a bullfrog sitting, floating on the gator last week. I will say that it doesn't work (in our area of Tennessee) in regards to deterring Great Blue Herons. The Herons still land in our pond and fish. All in all, it a great conversation piece. It's also become a family activity to walk to the pond and find out where "Charlie" the gator is in pond. He is always in a different place.

Fool your neighbors! Great product!
by Eric J Schroeder (5 out of 5 stars)

I purchased this a year ago and it's still floating. I use this to connect to the rope I have connected to the aerator on the bottom of my pond. It really looks real and is a lot of fun for the neighbor kids and visitors to see. It is very light and may seem to be cheaply made but it's only a floating decoy for decoration and I found it to serve the exact purpose I wanted. I've never removed it from the pond and it's still holding up great.

Realistic
by Marta Solitaire (5 out of 5 stars)

I always keep one of these in our pool, not to scare off birds, but for fun. They last a year or two, then the rubbing action from getting stuck in the leaf skimmer finally makes them so ugly they get sent to the range. Reuse and recycle, folks. Anyway, they are realistic, not cartoony, so we like them. Pigeons aren't afraid of them, but our dog from Louisiana is nervous around them so I think they evoke bad memories of when he was a stray puppy in the swamp.

Not as it is pictured
by Amazon Customer (1 out of 5 stars)
June 10, 2019

I just received the alligator head today. The head is painted all black. There is no green or any other colors except the white teeth and red eyes. I am VERY disappointed in this product and it is nothing like the picture. There was a review from 2015 from someone who had the same complaint and no other complaints like that since 2015 so I was hopeful the problem was corrected. It has not been corrected.

Gator guard
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)
June 6, 2016

I purchased this gator head with the hope that it might fend off the raccoon which likes using our pool as its own private restroom and it seems to be working. It is made of a styrofoam like material and I am not sure how long it will last in a salt chlorinated pool...time will tell. It seems to be keeping the raccoon away so we are happy with our new friend.
