I have ducks in my pool and how do i get them out? There are five ways that you can keep ducks from infesting your pool. Well, the first thing you can do is invest in a solar cover. This is that bubble wrap material that you put on top of the water that actually helps to keep the heat in your pool, but ducks won't land on it and they'll keep the ducks out of your pool. As long as you use the solar cover during the day, second thing you can do is use an automatic pool cleaner.
This can be a robotic pool cleaner or a suction side, pool cleaner or like a polaris pressure side pool cleaner, something that is constantly moving around your pool and keeping the ducks at bay they're like i don't want to be involved with whatever's floating around in that Pool and they stay away, the third thing you can do is just put some inflatable toys in the water. Specifically, there are two types that i recommend. One there's this thing called a dancing dolphin. What it is it's a dolphin that stands upright in the pool.
It's inflatable, but the bottom has a little weight on it, so the actual inflatable stands upright and it sort of acts as a scarecrow in your pool. The other inflatable i recommend is an alligator big old green alligator that floats in your pool. Ducks will stay away from you real quick before we continue. If you're looking for an easy to follow tutorial, that'll answer, all your pool questions go check out our pool care handbook and video course you'll, get over 30 in-depth video lessons and a step-by-step downloadable guide, covering everything you need to know about full maintenance.
It's packed with money-saving tips, so you can save money and time keeping your swimming pool clean. This is the ultimate manual for every type of pool, including in-ground above ground and in-text blow-up pools. The best part is we always keep it up to date. So once you buy it, you have access to the latest and greatest version for life.
So because you're watching this video, you can go to swimuniversity.com pool and use the promo code. Video. The fourth thing you can do - and you may already have one is you - can get a dog if you let your dog out in the backyard where your pool is, they will chase the ducks away. That is an easy solution and if you have a dog just kind of hanging out in the backyard at all times, just guarding your pool, then you're not going to have a problem with ducks.
And finally, the fifth thing you can do is: there's actually a chemical that you can buy and put into your water. It's called duck off. Yes, like duck off, so what this chemical actually does is it breaks the surface tension of the water? So when a duck lands on the pool surface to float, it will actually sink it'll drop into the water and it won't be able to float on the surface of your pool. And this chemical is real and it's called duck off and you might be able to find it at your local pool store or you can check online.
So that's it. That's five ways to keep ducks away from your swimming pool to keep that duck poop. Out of your water, which is very, very disgusting, ducks they sometimes can be cute, but most of the time they're disgusting.

What about one of those whacky inflatable guys outside of car dealerships?
Same problem with ducks in our pool and nothing works. The ducks dont care about floats, dogs, humans, decoys, fire crackers, sprinklers, or automated pool cleaner.. My pool stays open year round and is well maintained amd they love the chemicals. Unfortunately you cant keep ducks away as long as they are alive.
Solar cover doesn't work – they walk on it and still poop. Alligator and/or snakes don't work – they became BFF's. If Duckoff causes them to sink, won't they drown? Motion-activated solar light doesn't work, because they land throughout the day as well. I like the idea of the fishing line, as long as it doesn't injure them. This is the first time ever for us to have duck issues – we've had our pool for 13 years. Service area Nepean??
lol “sometimes they can be cute… but most of the time they’re disgusting”
Not sure about you dog solution… we don't need anymore barking dogs.
Awesome
Loon decoys, ducks are afraid of loons
Non of that works .. I have tried EVERYTHING and they still come in even when we are in the pool swiming..lmao.. I mean I love animals but dont like cleaning after them EVERYDAY !! 😣
Ha ha tried it all ducks just want to be in my pool !! Service area Orleans??
I have some customer that will put a owl statue at the side of the pool, works for them
Whenever i want to vacuum my pool i face a challenge,
The vacuum point is working properly but immediately i put the vacuum hose the prej 'll reduce while there's no air in the hose.
Both my neighbor and I have this problem. He bought the alligator and blow up snakes. Didn't work. I will inform him of the Duck Off. Are you in Barrhaven ?
I am only having bats landing in my pool and have to pick them up and put them somewhere so they can dry.
Our neighborhood ducks aren't scared of the Polaris. I was going to rig up a motion sensor with fake fireworks as they like sitting next to the pool too but will prob. try a solar cover first.
Can't u just shoot'em
Funny! Are you in Kanata ?
I have trouble with black birds placing their baby birds poop droppings from their nests in our pool after we open it. It usually lasts for a couple of weeks in May. We usually have our solar cover on then so most of the poop droppings land on the cover.
That was fun! (and I don't even own a pool)
Yes ducks love my pool in the spring before I open it… It's sooo frustrating they tear up the mesh cover and winter tarp so the melted snow leaves & dirt from the winter goes into the clean pool water underneath. They always seem to know exactly when the ice melts and are swimming before I get the cover pumped off or I can open the pool without a chance of a possible freeze. One time after a weekend away I came home to 30 ducks normally there are 2 males & a female. They must've known I was gone & invited all their friends! The little duckers!*! Haha Will check out the Duck Off!! 🦆🦆🦆🐊
