People and their kids like to come over unannounced, and without permission, to look at my ducks like it’s the fuckin zoo or some shit.
Need some humor for this situation to ease my frustration
Make sure the place they stand has no vegetation, and is always soaked, so their shoes inevitably get muddy. When they track the mud inside their houses, their parents will flip out and tell them not to go to your property again.
Or just put a motion sensor sprinkler to spray them when they get close.
Obvious answer is to give the kids ducklings for every visit. Pressuring kids parents to stop their kids coming over without permission. Unless they want to own duck pets.
Or, the neighbourhood starts a new trend for duckling soup…

You kids stay the DUCK off my lawn!!!
Walls, barbed wire, around the entire perimeter. Hire a pmc to patrol the grounds. If the kids are caught, extraordinary rendition them to a blacksite in an allied former Soviet state. If they escape before capture, send out operatives disguised as soccer/little league/gymnastics coaches until you locate and black bag them. Same fate as the initially captured. They’ll either get the memo or run out of kids

Put up a sign that says, “Pursuant to ordinance 347-1236, a sexual predator resides here”
That makes it sounds like it’s legally mandated for there to be a sexual predator there. When the house gets sold, do the new owners now have to go and molest someone??
And to think usually the buyers are the ones getting fucked.
Build a moat. It would certainly keep me out.
Woohoo, free swimming pool!
Now, a lava moat…
It wouldn’t be a clean pool though.
Yeah, everyone knows the kids pee in there.
I was thinking more like it catches leaves and dead animals.
Now the ducks colonize the moat and you have two attractions. You may or may not also need a third - a drawbridge - for your own access.
Solve that problem with a portcullis. Now you have four attractions.
You could make sure they see you taking a dump on the closet edge of your yard, build a fence like that and I think they’ll get the message
Go back to Jersey tweakers
“There is at least one more bear trap on my grounds than you can spot.”
Trespassers will be trebucheted.
Decorate your home like a child’s bedroom.
Have photos of only you everywhere, esp in the bathroom and hallways.
Invite just the parents over for dinner. Serve blue rare steaks and have the fanciest silverware arranged on the tables.
Cover your yard in red paint, chunks of meat and feathers? You wanted humour, but was that a bit too grim? Sorry…
Put up a gate and a sign saying “$1 Entrance Fee”. If you want to get even sillier, draw a horizontal line about 7ft off the ground on the sign plus the text “Must be at least this tall to enter”.
Build an exact replica of that area right next to the original. They’ll be confused, are they visiting the real ducks or a simulacrum of the ducks?
Give the ducks a nice shower/sprinkler set up that’s both timer and manually controlled.
Motion controlled
Had a friend with problem neighbors kids cutting through his yard to get to the store. He was friendly with the parents and didn’t want to stir shit. The neighbors were super all-natural, hippie, no chemical types, so he told them he switched to a new fertilizer packed with micro-plastics and forever chemicals made by Monsanto that he had to sneak in from Mexico because it wasn’t allowed in the US. That fertilizer sure worked because the trail the kids were carving filled right in that summer.
