My wife and I moved into our house about 1 1/2 years ago. Two reasons we bought it. Our gandaughter lives across the street and there is a pool in the back yard.

Last year we had two nests, right next to the pool. We have tried to discourage the nest building but found the new one right next to the pool with 13 eggs.

Someone told me if I put a rubber snake next to the pool, it will discourage the nest building. Didn't work. She(the duck) did attack the snake since I found it about three feet away from where I had placed it. We are now waiting for the ducklings to appear.
