Muscovy ducks are a growing concern for property owners across Central Florida. What often begins as a few birds near a pond can quickly turn into a recurring sanitation and nesting issue.
At Wildlife Works, we provide structured, compliant Muscovy duck removal services for residential homes, HOAs, apartment communities, and commercial properties throughout Ocala, Gainesville, The Villages, and surrounding areas.
When Muscovy duck populations grow unchecked, problems arise — especially in shared or high-traffic spaces.
Muscovy ducks are non-native birds originally from Central and South America. In Florida’s warm climate, their populations expand rapidly — particularly in areas where feeding is common.
Key characteristics include:
Because Muscovy duck populations grow quickly when food sources are reliable, ducks often feel entitled to remain in areas where they are regularly fed. Both the ducks and their eggs may be found in concealed areas around privately owned property, retention ponds, swimming pools, and public parks.
Without structured Muscovy duck control, the Muscovy population can increase season after season.
While Muscovy ducks may appear calm, unmanaged flocks can create measurable concerns:
For property owners worried about sanitation, liability, or repeated nesting, proactive duck removal is often necessary.
Effective Muscovy duck removal requires more than simply trapping birds. Our approach focuses on assessment, compliance, and long-term control of Muscovy ducks.
We begin with a detailed inspection to:
Muscovy ducks traditionally nest in concealed landscaping, under decks, and in dense vegetation. Eggs must be handled in accordance with Florida wildlife regulations.
Our team addresses:
Proper handling ensures the situation is resolved without creating further attraction to the site.
When Muscovy duck removal is necessary, we use structured trapping methods appropriate to the environment.
This includes:
Each removal plan is tailored to the size of the Muscovy population and the layout of the property.
Duck removal alone is rarely enough if attractants remain.
We provide recommendations to:
Long-term Muscovy duck control reduces recurring conflicts.
On privately owned property, Muscovy ducks may nest in landscaping, near swimming pools, or along backyard ponds. Property owners often contact us after repeated nesting or sanitation concerns develop.
In shared environments, Muscovy duck populations can occasionally lead to complaints due to droppings, aggressive nesting behavior, and contamination of common areas. We work with community managers throughout Ocala, The Villages, and surrounding areas to develop structured removal and prevention plans.
Public parks, retail centers, office complexes, and recreational facilities often experience recurring duck problems due to reliable water and food sources. Our team provides duck removal and site-specific prevention recommendations to reduce repeat nesting.
