Waterfowl often visit backyard swimming pools, especially in times of drought, but it’s not a good place for them. Plus, how do worms get into an above-ground composting machine?
We have lived here for 39 years. On April 10, for the first time ever, I saw a duck in the pool.
Speaking of nests, if you check around your yard, looking beneath shrubs and bushes, you might find a nest with eggs, which might be why the ducks are visiting. They either have or had a nest in your yard or nearby. While it might be nice to let them have a dip and stay awhile, in the long run it’s not good for them. Chlorinated water and wildlife aren’t a good mix, plus there are dangers for wild animals trying to live in developed areas.
So bottom line, you want to discourage ducks, geese or other water fowl from frequent visits in the pool. You can install a cover, which is expensive, or you can try floating some inflatable pool toys in the pool when it isn’t in use. Pick ones that might appear threatening to ducks, such as alligators or giant snakes.
