How do you keep ducks out of the backyard when you live on the lake?
I've had a few pet ducks for years, and they LOVE to eat. If your yard has lots to eat, the ducks will visit. A fence might help, but then again, ducks can fly over it. Ducks love to eat grass, so if you have a lawn, you might consider replacing it with ground cover instead, scented ground cover such as thyme.





If you own a dog, allowing it outside might help, but then you'll have a crazy, barking dog. If the ducks are just waddling into your yard, rather than flying, and have plenty of green stuff to eat that is NOT in your yard, laying down a swath of pokey, sharp stuff might help. Sharp plants, thorny bushes and such.





Another possibility is to buy a fake predatory bird and place it about 8 feet off the ground. Try to move it daily.





If you make your yard unappealing to ducks, they'll happily avoid it.

Reply:It depends on how many ducks you have. It will take approximately one week for each duck. That is based on duck a l'orange. If you have more duck recipies you can shorten the time by eating duck more than once a week. Otherwise about the only way is to have a lot of freezer space.
