I was looking for some items at Northern Tool, and I came across their pest control items.  They market some devices that use sound to keep pests away.  I have seen some of these in use in the past, and they are effective.  However, you need to be careful which ones you choose - Some use sound that humans can't hear, and some use really annoying sounds.

Yeah. It would really suck to go all Green Peace on the pigeons and then end up in jal for shooting the pidgeon repellant.

I can't believe I missed this thread.  Bill, have you tried spray adhesive?  The birds seem to hate having their feet sticking to whatever they are perched on.

Also...you could thin the flock.  Get a couple of steel traps and use that same adhesive to put some corn or popcorn on the trigger.  You may end up with more than a pigeon in it too.  BassPro has steel traps...at least locally.

So far, since I added the lattice and the mothballs, there hasn't been a single pigeon anywhere on the property. I see them all over the neighborhood, but none around my place. I can only hope it continues. The spray glue sounds good. I'll keep it in mind if I have any problems with them returning.

I ended up taking down the owls. I don't think they really hurt or helped. They were getting all beat up from the wind banging them against the house. I kept one up in the backyard, on the corner of my patio. It sails free, and doesn't bang into anything.

I also added more mothball containers where the owls were. I think they are the most effective. I've got a total of 3 containers of them around the inside of the eves where they're protected from wind and rain. 2 of the 3 are low enough that I can get to them with a step stool to refill them. I've been Pigeon free now long enough to be somewhat convinced they won't be returning........ At least until the mothballs go away. And I've got 2 full boxes of them in reserve.

So far, so good. None have been seen on my roof, or anywhere else on the property. They're still in the neighborhood. As are the cats. Just none around me.

I wonder if the spray adhesive would ward off the cats?
