smokin5s Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 So I've tried the usual fake Owls moving it around, putting up wire mesh and those wire spikes and birds keep landing in my lean too and shitting all over my truck and trailer. It's annoying and I was hoping someone has ideas on how to get these birds to move on and stop trying to make their homes under my lean-too.

zeitgeist57 Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Wire mesh? Pressure washer? I've got a carport but thankfully the birds haven't figured out the protective ledge the C-beams create under the roofing. Will have to keep an eye on that though...

smokin5s Posted April 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 I put wire mesh up, they found little cracks to get in the rafters in a few spots, but mostly they perch up on the roof racks of my truck or the tail gate of the trailer, That of course just makes piles of bird shit everywhere which is horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 This should scare away anything with eardrums in a 6 acre area https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bird-X-Super-Bird-X-Peller-PRO-Electronic-Bird-Repeller-6-Acres-Repel-Pigeons-Starlings-Sparrows-Seagulls-and-Woodpeckers-SBXP-PRO-1/303397914 Looks like they make cheaper ones, I don't know if they actually work though.

Red Beard Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 INB4 Otis/Mitch with "You should just put up a sign. "No Birds Allowed"". This has worked for me in the past. Best part is the cost is typically free if you still have a few CD's and some fishing line laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea how much your home value has increased since installing this improvement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharris89 Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 I wouldn’t give up my Confederate Railroad or Oak Ridge Boys cds for that. Those are priceless. Serious question - Are they hurting anything or you just don’t want them. I ask because we have bird nests on the outside of our porch. Robins and sparrows usually and my kids love to watch the baby birds. I’ve never evicted them because where they are they don’t bother me.

This isnt my house specifically Howie, just an example. Plus, if it is in his lean-to then only person who would see it is him anyway.

But mine are nowhere near my cars. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
