    duck deterrent

    So I park or 58yf bow in and the ducks get much more brave as the season progresses. They decided my swim platform was an outhouse. I got tired of scrubbing and I have previously tried the rubber snakes and owls. So reading an online post I thought I'd try some small mousetraps. .. Well, this morning I see that two were set off last night, but no duck tirds. This may actually work. Hopefully the ducks will get the message and I won't have to leave them set up.

    The classic answer to the duck problem is to scatter duck food on OTHER peoples' swim platforms.

    So nice of you to think of sharing the problem with un suspecting neighbors.

    That's not a good idea down here. Either you or the ducks will be shot.
