What is an effective pigeon prevention or scare system?!
Question: What is an effective pigeon prevention or scare system.?
I remember reading that plastic snakes laid on a ledge would prevent them landing there.. I have just consulted a web page that informs me this is only a temporary solution..
Apart from human-discomfiting measures such as chicken-wire and spikes on my balcony ledge is there any way to discourage the flying rats..
I have tried to kill one in order to string it up (a scare an Irish farmer told me that worked for birds of prey trying to get to his chickens), but either the bast**ds were too fast or my aim was too bad (usually the latter as I have to chuck left-handed)..
I don't really want to put poison down, not from any ethics, more that it'd be a financial black-hole in the season, now past, I hope..
Any ideas.?

Not sure if it works for pigeons but have successfully kept seabirds out of pool using strings of clear fishing line placed above the reach of people and strung across in no pattern but tight Could be the vibes the string makes or that they can see it and know it would be bad to hit- but they've never come back..Health Question & Answer
