Duck making a mess on my dock
Duck making a mess on my dock

I have several ducks which come around my dock every winter and make a mess. They leave droppings everywhere and since I many not be there for a month or two this time of year, their droppings accumulate and stain everything. I’d like to install some kind of repeller so they won’t use the dock anymore. Something that will run by itself all the time.

BEST DUCK REPELLENTS

Sometimes ducks can be a pest, especially around docks and boats. Many people feed them which can make them quite comfortable roosting or nesting on docks. In general, this will lead to their droppings creating a big mess and though most people love seeing happy ducks around their docks, the dropping issue will far outweigh their benefit.

To keep them away we have a few options.

DUCK SPRAY REPELLENT

Your first option is to spray the dock you want to protect with our PEST AWAY. Made with all natural essential oils, it won’t hurt animals but it does have an odor. Ducks will find this unpleasant and leave the area moving to another “untreated” dock for refuge.

Add 2 oz of Pest Away per gallon of water and expect to get about 800 sq/ft of coverage per mixed gallon.

Treatments will last a good month and should be renewed as needed.

DUCK FLASHING REPELLER

If you’re looking for a more permanent solution, the “flashy” BIRD REPELLER can be mounted on poles low to the dock surface. These repellers are designed to chase away birds using their “psychedelic” reflective surface that uses sunlight to agitate birds.

Simply mount it and you’re done. The units are small and rely on any breeze to move them around. As you can see, they feature a texture which is “hypnotic” and annoying to certain animals including birds. They find them both captivating and disorientating.

Ducks can’t avoid looking at them and this will effectively make them feel uncomfortable. This feeling is soon identified as being caused by the repellers so they’ll move away.

Install one every 20 feet for a uniform barrier.

The mounting arm needs to be secured by the included bolt. Metal poles can be used but you’ll need a pilot hole for the mount to work. A 2×4 is usually the best way to secure one 2 feet up off the dock. Below is a picture of the bolt.

DUCK REPELLENT FOR THE YARD

And if they forage up onto shore, keep them out with XEMPT GRANULES combined with the Pest Away spray over the top.

Xempt G uses all natural ingredients at a dose ducks do not like. They have a distinctive “wintergreen” aroma and will last 60 days per application. If you spray Pest Away over the granules, you’ll get 60-90 days of residual from treatments so you don’t have to spray as frequently.

Xempt G uses all natural plant oils to form a natural duck deterrent that also works on geese. The 2 lb box will cover up to 400 sq/ft.

Xempt G is packed 4 bags to a box; each baggie is .5 lbs and will cover up to 100 sq/ft.

SCARE SPIDERS

The last good option are SCARE SPIDERS. Birds are genetically wired to avoid spiders and so these large repellers can be placed where you don’t want ducks to roost and they’ll move on.

Scare spiders come in three sizes; we recommend the Medium or Large for ducks. The spiders use a wire system built into their legs which allows you to “wrap” them onto nails or deck screws to keep them anchored. And they’ll stand fine as you can see in this short video:

YouTube Video

Scare spiders are easy to deploy and weather resistant so they’ll hold up to normal rain and sun for several years. That said, we do recommend “moving” them around every 2-3 days when first deployed and then after 7-14 days, you can leave them as they were last configured. In general, nuisance wildlife will have learned to stay clear of the area and will not be coming around for awhile so you can remove them after a month. Now how long new wildlife will stay away can vary but in general, at least for ducks, plan on using them 1-2 a year if you don’t want to keep them deployed all year long.

    Absolutely Amazing! I have used ultra sound repellers in the past and they always were returned. They never worked. This repeller actually works. We had ducks taking over our pond, yard, home and pergola. At first they were cute then they became a nuisance. At one time we had close to 400 whistling ducks in our yard. They were pooping all over the place and eating our grass. I set up the repeller where they like to congregate. In two days the ducks were completely gone.

      Thanks for the feedback. Though we don’t show this device above, it can work when you can set it to be activated when they come around AND turn the audible volume up to 60db’s.

    I live on a lake and the ducks are always in my backyard, I can’t even take my puppy outside. What can I do, to keep the dirty ducks out of my yard?

    Thank you,

      Rosie,
      If you scroll up the page, you will see our Duck Repeller. Its easy to use and works great. Just install a few, the number needed will depend on the size of the dock. But ducks don’t like them and will stay off where these are installed.
