Get a motion activated sprinkler. Nothing likes to get hit with a
stream of cold water. Except maybe a duck. If your garden is being
eaten by marauding ducks, you are screwed.

I used a motion activated sprinkler to keep the birds (not ducks) from
pulling up my seedlings last year and it worked great. HTH :-)
