Not sure if this is the right section to ask about this - but...we have a natural swimming pond in our garden and the whole eco system is balanced to maintain clear, pure water. The only 'danger' to the system is duck - as they carry salmonella. We have to keep them away!
In the last few days - and for the first time - we've had three mallard visiting - a male and two females.
Whilst I love ducks, we just can't have them in the pond and need to deter them rapidly.
If for any reason anyone else needs to deter ducks from their garden and/or pond - what methods do you use?
So far, each time we've seen them, I've run out to the pond and flapped a white plastic carrier bag and they've flown away. But they may of course be going there when I don't see/ am not around.
Any ideas please?
