Had the same problem when we had our houseboat. it was 80 feet in length and we stuck out of the dock a long way and the ducks and geese thought the back porch and swim platform was a nesting place. we solved the problem though. we have had 3 houseboats and this has worked every time so hopefully it will work for you. we are having the same problem at our house on the lake too and have not had time to do anything about it yet. here is the solution: find you a realistic rubber snake, the best ones are the big ones that are heavy rubber. they need to be repositioned every week or so, this makes the ducks and geese think that they are alive. the only prob lem with this is that the fishermen that see them on your dock and pier will steal them, have had that happen at the lake house ( never on the houseboats) and haven't had time to replace the snakes. try it, maybe the ducks and geese are no smarter than the ones in atlanta. good luck and maybe i'll try some of the other suggestions too.
