I was having the same issue with a couple of ducks taking up residence over the last couple of weeks in our pool. Although the ducks are cute, their "residue" is staining the bottom of the pool not to mention the danger of duck itch. Someone suggested an inflatable alligator but I couldn't find one. In Namco the other day I saw inflatable dolphins that stand ,as they are weighted in the tail by sand, as high as 41". I bought 3 "Mr. Flippys" that are brightly colored, and float around the pool as well as bob and weave with the wind......enough to scare them away. I've been duck free for 2 days now. So far so good! $4.99 on sale (any size) presently at Namco. Good luck!!
