FAQs
Will this duck scare away herons or other pests?
No, this is a decorative ornament and is not designed to function as a pest deterrent.
Does the duck come with an anchor?
No, the duck is designed to float freely. You can attach a fishing line to the base if you need to keep it in a fixed position.
Can I leave the duck in the pond during winter?
It is recommended to remove the ornament if your pond is likely to freeze to prevent potential material damage or loss.
Is the paint safe for fish and water plants?
Yes, the materials are safe and non-toxic for typical pond ecosystems.
How do I clean the ornament?
Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or rinse it with fresh water to remove any surface debris.
Troubleshooting
Ornament keeps tipping over in high winds
Ensure the internal weight balance is clear of debris or consider adding a small stabilizing weight at the base if persistent.
Algae or slime accumulation on the surface
Remove the ornament and gently scrub with a soft brush and clean water; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the paint finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: simply place the ornament on the surface of your pond water and let it drift. No anchoring is required, though you may use a hidden fishing line if you wish to keep the duck in a specific location within the pond. Compatibility is universal across most pond types, including liner, pre-formed, and concrete ponds. To maintain the life-like finish, periodically rinse the figure with fresh water to remove algae buildup or debris. During severe winter months or if the pond is prone to freezing, it is recommended to remove the ornament from the water to prolong the integrity of the material.
