In my last article, I talked about crow repellent. This post will cover a different bird known as the duck. You people have surely seen one of these birds before, right? Well, as pretty and nice looking as these birds are, they do tend to aggravate people from time to time. If you are looking to rid your lawn or pond of these birds, then you may want to consider a few of these methods here.
Natural duck repellent involves not feeding them and putting out some liquid stuff. These sorts of repellents are sprayed on a lawn to make the grass not as delicious as it should be. I say that it is natural because it doesn’t cause any physical harm to the bird or the environment. Some people say that these chemicals give the duck a stomach ache or other uncomfortable problems. It works because the animal will remember that the areas food is not very tasty – kind of like we people remember a bad restaurant. Some people like to fence off areas where they want to repel ducks; however I have never tried this. One method that I have used is a coyote or predator decoy. Ducks know these predators well and try really hard to keep their distance. Another great one is made by bird x and resembles an alligator head. The eyes are red and mean looking. I believe that the have a reflective or mirror property in the eyes that is very scary and uninviting. Reflective tape works for pest control with these birds as well. It shines in the day and makes a metallic crackling noise when it flaps in the wind.
If you like to buy some of the newer stuff and stay up to date with the latest technology, then you may want to stick with ultrasonic and sonic duck deterrent. Ultrasonic duck repellent works with high frequency stuff that buzzes them silly and keeps them away. Sonic duck repellent works by emitting calls made by the animal that are warning or alarm sounds. These distress calls are made when a duck is in trouble to signal other birds to get out of the area. All in all, I think that this article has been a sufficient how to guide for getting rid of ducks.
