I got a bird problem. How long does the hanging of the fake birds of prey last? I can hang a buzzard up and keep them out (permitted), but the little birds I don’t think it will work.

Snakes. Not real ones. Used to put them on the boat dock on the lake to keep the birds from nesting. Walmart or DG.

Honestly, fake owls and hawks don't deter long. They will be sitting on them and pooping on them relatively quickly. Never tried fake snakes.

How big of an area? I’ve seen places strong wire/fishing like overhead.

Owls and snakes work for a while they get used to them and never look back. You will need to move them often. In substation’s we’ve tried everything from loud bangs to coyote decoys to keep squirrels out. Spike strips and glue traps for birds may help.

A kid and a pellet gun. Give him $5 for every one he kills.

When a cat kills one or two, the others seem to notice. A yard cat really will run them off.

When I was a maintenance man at Bent Creek Apartments in Clanton we had about 60 buzzards that roosted right behind the apartments. They loved our dumpster .

You guys have the right idea. When I was a youngster there were no birds around my house.

Red Ryder will work inside 30 ft or so!
And yeah, that would’ve been a dream job when I was a kid.
