Unwanted ducks
I have a problem with ducks, 2 used to come every now and then and use my pool, today there were 6, the pool shop gave me some stuff a few weeks ago to put in the pool to thin the water and other stuff to make it smell and deter the ducks from coming, it hasn't worked.
I live in NSW, i don't think i'm allowed to kill them any ideas?

Lots of things are technically illegal, like jaywalking. That doesn't mean they are morally wrong. It just means you have to make sure noone is watching.
You could put duck on the menu.
Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Paint one or two large alligator silhouettes on the bottom of the pool.

Pool cover?
Failing that, get yourself a sling shot.

We have domestic ducks on the pond behind our home. Every spring at least one pair of Canada geese fly in and try to take over. The geese eat the food I buy for our flightless pet ducks and chase the ducks around. I can't kill the geese legally and I am not big on killing wild animals anyway. I got a paintball marker. It looks alot like a gun and fires (50) paintballs a second. Paintball Guns - Spyder, Tippmann, Ion, Angel Paintball Guns I am able to keep enough pressure on the geese they fly away unharmed in a few minutes. It's alot of fun too.

I read the title of this thread and thought someone was giving away a pair of unwanted Dubl Ducks.
Damn.

You could put a picture of Palin out there...given her views on conservation, that should scare 'em!

A real alligator would be more effective.
