📋 How it works▾
Lo-Chlor No More Ducks is a non-toxic waterfowl deterrent that discourages ducks, geese and other waterfowl from landing on pool water — without harming the birds or affecting pool chemistry. The 20L drum is ideal for commercial pools, resorts, or properties with persistent waterfowl problems requiring frequent ongoing treatment.
Ducks and waterfowl in pools introduce significant contamination — faeces, feathers, mud and bacteria — that dramatically increases chemical consumption and creates sanitation challenges. No More Ducks creates a surface condition that waterfowl find unpleasant, deterring them from landing without causing any harm to the birds, swimmers or pool chemistry.

💊 Dosage guide▾
Apply to pool water. Reapply after rain or when waterfowl activity returns.
Initial dose
20 ml
per 1,000 L
Apply across the pool surface. Creates the deterrent effect within hours of application.
Maintenance dose
10 ml
per 1,000 L
Reapply weekly or after heavy rain. The deterrent effect fades over time and with rainfall.
After rain

Heavy rain dilutes the deterrent. Reapply the full initial dose after significant rainfall.
Ongoing deterrence
Monitor activity
If waterfowl continue to land, increase the dose slightly. Consistent application is more effective than occasional treatment.
❓ FAQ▾
Is it safe for swimmers?▾
Yes — No More Ducks is non-toxic and safe for swimming immediately after dosing. It does not affect pool chemistry or produce any harmful compounds.
Will it harm the ducks?▾
No — the product deters waterfowl without causing any harm to the birds. It creates a surface condition they find unpleasant, encouraging them to seek other water sources.
How does it actually work?▾
No More Ducks works by altering the surface tension of the water and/or creating sensory conditions that waterfowl associate with an unsuitable landing area. The specific mechanism is proprietary, but the effect is that birds land once, experience the deterrent, and typically don't return.
My neighbour's pond attracts birds to the area. Will this work?▾
Proximity to other water sources reduces the deterrent effectiveness — birds nearby have alternatives. No More Ducks is most effective when your pool is the main water source birds are targeting. Consistent application still helps even in areas with competing water sources.
