I love the lake and all that goes with it. However, I have learned to not like something. My wife and I built a new pier/dock this past winter. I now have about 8 Canadian geese and 3 mallards that have taken a liking to it. They walk up my boat ramp and hang out on the dock. When they have to relieve themselves they walk into the yard and leave lots of 'gifts' for me every weekend I show up at the lake.

Although the ducks are cute and all . . . I don't like cleaning up 100+ piles of duck/goose poop from in front of my dock every time I go to the lake. If you miss a pile you will probably find it later . . . in between your toes.

Anybody know a 'civil' and 'politically correct' way to prevent them from coming up my boat ramp and into my yard?
