you could purchase fox or coyote urine from a garden center. i work at one and have sold it to a man that was having a terrible peaco#k problem. he had tried everything and thats the only thing that has worked. it comes with a little aplicator bottle thast you fill and you set them out at various intervals in your yard, or hang them from bushes or trees.

Oh, the irony.  After a little girl flies halfway across the country in a ultralite in order to lead Canada Geese back from extinction, they are now going to kill us all with their poop.\n\nI think, once they hit the US, we had better start keeping our shoes at the door.  I know ducks & geese are pretty common here, and they are going to be carriers.  And that doesn't even take into account how many times ducks get into the pool.\nIs chlorine antiviral at pool sanitation levels?\nI hope some other country full of ducks & geese figures it out before it gets here.

I live in the Pacific Northwest.  We're not very "south", but we get lots of swans in the winter, and then they disappear in the summer, so I presume they've flown back north.  (Or possibly east, to your lake.....)

use anything that looks like a threat to their bed \nlizards or bluegill both are great \nif u see a bass on bed just keep dragging it thru there and bumping the fish until shes had enough but always be quick on the hook set because they will spit it out they dont want to eat just run it off\nor use dynomite lol

try not using dominant buck , just use doe estrus. it will lure mature bucks and also make sure you are looking downwind from where your rattling because they,ll circle around and generally will come in with the wind in their face .

I suggest you contact the state fish and game or game and parks department.  There are many states that have programs where you can raise and release game birds.  If your state doesn't have any, ask them who might, or go to a state (on the internet) where those birds live naturally and try with their wildlife department.  I live in Kansas and believe they may have such a project here.

get a slow dog its easier to get the deer and it will keep circling\na fast dog like a coon hound will run them straight out of the country\ni recomend a beagle

Go to the store..buy several of those pink flamingos. After dark, plant them in a yard that you know is safe. Leave a  sign in the yard that says " You have been flocked by The high school football team" or whatever it is. Leave a note saying that it will cost ten dollars to have flamingos removed by that org. If the home owner wants to have the org. plant it in someone elses yard, one of their choice, it will cost twenty dollars. Most homeowners will pay twenty just to play a joke on their neighbor! It is really fun!! Be sure you go to people that you know!!

Send a copied and certified letter to the parents regarding your concerns.\n\nThis may seem a little over the edge, but you need to explain to the parents that you are NOT willing to be held legally responsible for anything that happens to their children while in your yard.  Remember, if their kid gets hurt in your yard, YOU are responsible.\n\nThe least you can do is put them on notice.

Honestly you could ask them to keep their kid quiet. But in all reality if the kid is in his own yard and before 10 pm there is nothing that you can do. Try moving the infants crib to the other side of the house, or maybe moving the nap time from when you know the other kid will be screaming................

The first thing you must do is eliminate the hatcheries. Keep the garbage that they(flies) lay eggs in away from your factory. Then you need to spray some barn-spray. Malthion works well, and is available at most feed stores or your local vet. Good luck!

Add red coloring.\n\nIt IS necessary, and it DOES NOT harm the birds.

I think crafty mum has it about right. Ducks normally walk in a line when traveling as a family group. Papa duck, mama duck, baby ducks all in a row.

pour some ammonia around they don't like the smell and will associate the smell with your place and stay away. put some in a trail over to neighbours late at night and fed them regular there. make sure it is neighbour you don't like

Some of them are in my garden, others are down by the canal.   Are you short of sparrows?\n\nIt's difficult to count baby sparrows cos they won't sit still but it does seem like there's not quite as many as usual.  I blame the late spring.   The swans have only managed half their usual number of chicks; maybe the sparrows had similar trouble.\n\nThe bluetits are doing OK though (what a bleepin' racket...)

I would report the neighbors for neglect. They obviously are not taking care of the animals if they smell that bad.  Are the dogs coming into your yard?  I don't see how your family is reacting if they are not near the dogs.  I would call animal control and report them.
