Geese[edit]

Canada Geese and Cackling Geese can cause damage by eating vegetation and leave droppings. In some urban settings they can pose a further nuisance by alarming members of the public. They are often associated with stormwater management ponds. As many forms of LID reduce or eliminate standing water.

Diggy creatures[edit]

Are they a problem?

Mosquitoes[edit]

A mesh size of 1.5 mm or smaller is recommended where a screen is used to exclude mosquitoes from a tank or other standing water[1].
