Stupid Ducks!
First of all, let me start this post by saying, I love nature. Birds,
flowers, frogs, fish, toads, mammals, etc, but what I don't love are the pair of ducks that keep invading my new pond, tearing up my plants and leaving their poo and filth behind in the water! We live just a few hundred yards from a natural creek and a huge pond that is about 1/8 of a mile behind our house in the woods. I just don't get why these ducks think my pond is their own personal spa! Is there any way to repel them (without hurting them) from my ponds? I have two little bitty ponds, an upper and lower. I had a net on the lower pond most of the spring and mostly because last year I had a heron visiting eating my fish. I left the net on this spring to keep the ducks out, but the blasted fowl kept coming and sitting on top of the net! Now, I added an upper pond, that does not in the least look natural to my setting, but I like it all the same and they are now using this as their personal spa. They are eating my plants and trashing the water. I have not yet added fish to this yet as I am waiting until the water is in balance and I added chemicals for chlorine, etc. I hate putting the net back as they still sit on top of it. Does anyone know of a repellent I could use? I do not own a dog and my cat (who goes out on a leash) does not really care about the ducks, or he is scared of them. Help! Thanks for listening to my ranting and ravings. I don't normally post because I can find what I need by searching the postings, but didn't see anything recently about ducks. Lisa Northern Indiana |
