Anybody know a good way to keep out the ducks?! We are right on the bay so every year the mallards come in and usually a few end up nesting in the yard somewhere. We always loved them, fed them etc, they even used to walk right into the house.

Well...since we put our pond in obviously the ducks don't belong anymore. Last year they ate everyone one of my goldfish, (and taking a swim/bath and rutting up the lilies,)the only fish they didn't get was my koi. We replaced all the fish and the ducks had their babies and went on their way. For the last 2 days now I have had to chase them out of the yard and just don't know how to get rid of them. I'm going to put a net over the ponds again but...it doesn't stop them, only deterrs them momentarily, they DO find a way to get under it for their free lunch and bath, geesh there has to be a way.

Any ideas?
