I keep my boat at the marina in a boat slip. There are a lot of ducks and geese in the area and they constantly shit on the boats. Mainly the swim platforms. I have seen multiple solutions including: alligator head, Owl, flags and sparkles. My first question is which have people found to be most effective?
Second question is: The duck / goose poop seems like it leaves a stain on the gator step material on my swim platform. Any recommendations for getting this out?

Thanks in advance

Shotgun works the best, swim platform cover might help to.

You could always get an Asshat Cover. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211009/1d537d87a5de2a044b14394f0e679ed9.jpg
We have a platform cover under it as well to just keep the Gatrostep clean from bugs and spiders

Is you boat on a lift or in the water?

That Asshat also protects the gel between the cover and the platform which usually takes a beating from the sun.

I don't have a bird n problem, but I have a cat problem.

The cats do their job of reducing the rodent population but they were making a mess of my platform. Dirt cat hair, etc. and the burrs and vegetation they have stuck to them. Bought a cheap platform cover $89 that just wraps on and the elastic is sewn into the cover. Never comes off while trailering and I leave it on until everyone is barefoot.

My boat is in the water. The Asshat design looks promising to keep the ducks and geese off. I've looked at other covers, but they are simply that. a cover, which will protect the platform, which is good, but I would like to keep them off all together if I can.
