Found these wise guys today...



What suggestions do you have for keeping them away?
I know about the wire combs that you see on light poles and signs.

A carved wooden owl. Don't laugh, it works.

It doesn't have to be wooden. A cheap plastic one works, too, for woodpeckers.

chicken wire keeps them out too

12 guage pump possibly. Seriously though the owl thing does the trick.

Hey Richard, I was going to tell Scott to hire an Architect that knows what he is doing, but since your here, I guess I will tell Scott to hire a plumber and install a roof drain, ZURN maybe? ha. ha.

Scott;
Recommend that a reputable Contractor repair this problem. Design deficiency.

I had brown-headed cow birds visiting every day. At about 5:30 AM the would just sit and bang on my living room window. I used hanging cd's, rubber snakes, etc. The snakes did nothing.

Actually my pest control BNI associate said that baiting is the only way to get rid of em... Its keeping them away with wires or the equivalant that I need suggestions. i know its not my problem but just trying to be helpful...

I've used this before, a different brand. It works for a while, maybe a year or so..It's extremely sticky. You can find it at most feed stores.

Sure fired way to get rid of pigeons and keep them away.

Stephen, you funny...

Best stuff I have used is the black nylon netting they use on blueberry bushes. From about 5 feet away you can't even see the stuff. Staple it up and they can't get in so they move on.

Some clients in an upscale neighborhood use the stuff available at this site.
