5th year running - They show up at the first sign of warm weather and hang for a couple months (and make a bloody mess - mallard poop!), and then disappear until the following spring.
This year, the Male's got his female (she was new a few years ago), and she's brought a friend.
Any tips other than me or the dog running after them is appreciated.
Duck-a l'orange?

Eliminate the male and the females will go away on their own...don't ask how I know this to be true. It's not a politically correct answer, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.  BTW, I understand your predicament, at my place it is definitely duck season poolside...

Oddly enough, I accidentally posted this in "outdoor cooking" accidentally (or, would that be subconsciously?)...

These guys (or gals), check in every couple months! Then our dogs chase them off!
