Wire cages? I have never had a duck problem, so this is just a guess. You might want to post this question on the Farm forum. I bet someone over there would know.

Good idea re/the farm forum. I tried cayenne pepper which seems to slow 'em down but hasn't stopped them. I did have to put wire around a Hedychium they were nibbling. Thanks for the reply. :)

Geese are frightened away by orange tagging tape flapping in the breeze. It keeps geese from pooping on your dock. Should work for ducks eating Setcreasea. A dog would look better though.

Well... Ducks have developed good taste too! ;-]

My Scottish Terrier sees the ducks as her pals (several of whom hatched under our front porch) and they aren't scared of her either. I may try the orange tape just right around their favorite salad bar. Otherwise, I like having 'em around. :)

Today...my webbed-footed friends chewed a prized Canna down to a heights of 4", ate a Xanthosoma to the ground, and sheered off half a Colocasia Black Beauty!! I don't have enough cayenne & wire cages. :) Someone told me white vinegar will deter Muscovy ducks. Anyone know if this is true and...is it harmful to plants in any way?
