How to Scare Ducks Away

Scare ducks away with a dog.

Expensive electronic devices that send sound waves to scare away unwanted ducks exist, but should only be used as a last resort. A good rousing scare of your own will temporarily rid your property of unwanted ducks, while a dog will scare them away on a daily basis. Ducks are docile creatures, but they can also be a nuisance: Scaring them away can be accomplished with a few warning shouts and motions.

Instructions

1. 

   Yell and do jumping jacks to scare ducks away.

   Approach the ducks and shout loudly and wave your arms back and forth in a jumping jack formation until the ducks fly or swim away.

2. Allow your dog to give the ducks a run for their money. It will be best to keep the dog on a leash at first, until you know how the ducks will respond; You do not want your dog coming into contact with the ducks for his own safety -- and legally this may not be okay, especially for protected species.

3. Throw small stones around ducks, never throwing one at a duck, to scare them away.

4. Purchase a sonic bird and duck repellent on the Internet to scare ducks away using electro-sonic sound waves.
