Description
Provide a safe, natural habitat for local waterfowl with the JCS Wildlife Cedar Wood Duck House. Proudly made in the USA, this premium duck nesting box is specifically engineered for wood ducks and other cavity-nesting birds, including kestrels, tree swallows, and great crested flycatchers.
Constructed from premium weather-resistant cedar and eco-friendly recycled poly lumber, this heavy-duty house is designed for pole mounting along shorelines, wetlands, and open water edges to provide a cozy, predator-proof home for growing duck families.
Key Features & Benefits
- Premium Cedar & Recycled Poly Construction: Naturally resistant to decay, severe weather, and insects. Features a slanted, overhanging poly lumber roof that sheds water effortlessly to keep the nesting cavity dry.
- Built-In Poly Predator Guard: Designed with a precise 4" x 3" oval entrance hole and internal predator protection to shield nesting mothers and eggs from climbing predators like raccoons and snakes.
- Fledgling Climb-Out Kerfs: The interior wall features 1-inch pre-cut kerf slots that act as a natural ladder, helping newborn ducklings securely climb up to the exit hole when they are ready to jump into the water.
- Safe Exterior Design: Intentionally crafted without external perches or grip grooves to prevent larger predatory birds and pests from gaining a foothold outside the box.
- Easy-Access Side Clean-Out Door: Equipped with a secure side door for fast annual maintenance. Simply open the hatch to easily clear out old debris and replenish fresh bedding.
- Pre-Drilled Drainage & Floor Pilot Holes: Built with bottom drainage holes to promote airflow and prevent moisture buildup, alongside pre-drilled pilot holes for effortless pole mounting.
- Free Shavings Included: Wood ducks do not gather their own nesting materials. This house arrives with two complimentary bags of pine shavings to properly prep your box for immediate seasonal use.

Where Should I Mount My Wood Duck House?
Wood ducks primarily nest near woodland wetlands that maintain standing water year-round or throughout the summer months. For optimal success and safety:
- Mounting Location: Install the house on a sturdy pole either directly in the water or right at the shoreline edge.
- Mounting Height: The base of the house should sit 4 to 5 feet above the surface of the land or water.
- Pest Protection: Always add a hooded predator baffle to your mounting post to stop snakes and rodents from climbing into the nest box.
- Recommended Hardware: We highly recommend pairing this house with the heavy-duty Squirrel Stopper Universal Pole Kit for a rock-solid, long-lasting installation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much nesting material should I put inside the duck house?
You should spread roughly 4 to 6 inches of fresh pine shavings across the floor of the house during your initial setup or annual cleanup. This creates an inviting insulation layer that mimics natural tree cavities. Always use clean pine shavings, as they are the safest and healthiest choice for waterfowl.

Why are there cuts on the inside of the door panel?
Those 1-inch grooves (kerfs) act as a structural ladder. Because newborn ducklings cannot fly out of the deep nesting box, they rely on these texturized steps to climb up to the oval opening on launch day.
