Damned DUCKS!

Erfect?

I’m spitballing here, just might help. Snakes eat eggs and little ducks. I don’t have a duck problem😬

Wonder what Erfect is.

This is probably a south Florida problem. But I have an issue with ducks.
More specifically with ducks pooping all over my porch.
We do not feed them. Are not kind to them. We chase them away and throw things at them. But, they keep returning to spray their disease ridden poop all over my front porch.
Any ideas what I can do? Other than Googling duck recipes?
I placed the bench inside my garage. Convinced that they liked the shade it provided. And it worked for just one day.
This morning they returned.
I'm getting very annoyed.
I do not want to harm them. And frankly, I'm not sure that even that would deter them. They're as stupid as they are stubborn.

Don't now if this has been suggested.
Up in Michigan the geese would crap on our dock. We put a blow-up snake on the dock. It was made for that reason.

I don't hate them.
But I sure dislike them.
And I dislike hosing their crap off every night after work

I don't really either. It was funny when I got a kiss off by my last baby duck I raised. I raised a bunch of Mallards that time. I was kinda offended at first but now I see how blessed I was.😉🦆🤗

So a natural predator of snakes is also birds. I've seen that situation too.🤗

I really wish this was being filmed as a documentary

I never tried this and am sure I never will. I was told if you feed alka-selzer to a goose. Since a goose can't regurgitate. The stomach will burst.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
If true maybe a duck is the same??????

Ok just googled the alka-selzer thing. The stomachs won't burst. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wish TFO had a "poll" option, we could all collectively decide what Zeropilot should do, lol

I'm a 6'2" 265 pound predator and I don't scare them at all.

Those ducks decided they like you 😉poor you 😭 you might be able to lure them to a different spot. But then you'll have a rescue for Muscovy ducks. I'm glad they like you because if they don't they aren't nice. I was dealing with one that didn't like me. He pecked me close to my eye and it left a mark for years..

I've seen two large white birds in Florida carry a large snake home for dinner and there was nothing the snake could do about it. They were flying along together carrying a big snake between the two. Snakes are afraid of geese also. Even big snakes will get the heck out of dodge if geese are watching over them. But yes snakes will steal an egg so that's why birds won't put up with a snake.

I'm 100% sure that these guys will crap all over my TEMU inflatable snake

LOL. OK! I was referring to a big fake snake.. I'm obviously out of my league here... y'all figure it out.

Actually I fully appreciate any and all suggestions

What was crazy is the two flew over the top of my car for a really long way (miles) with that snake dangling between the two. They were working together for dinner. It was crazy but so cool to see something like that. I felt sad for the snake but that's nature. I'm sure a plastic snake would make some birds think twice though until they figured it out. That would be funny to watch.

I'm pretty convinced that ducks. At least these ducks. Don't use any logic or common sense. I'm not sure about instincts either.
They just seem plain STUPID
