I just paid to have a porch roof shingled, due to damage primarily
caused by dozens of pecking birds eager for grit I suppose. This roof,
on the sunny side of the house, seems to attract birds (and even the
occasional squirrel).
Now that I've gotten a new roof, any suggestions on how to keep
birds OFF the thing?? My roofer had no suggestion other than to
contact the state DOT to find out what stuff they use to repel birds
from roosting places under bridges, and then offer to buy some repellent
from them. There MUST be a simpler way!
I'd much appreciate any help on this!




What kind of birds?

We go to a restaurant that has outdoor dining. To keep the birds out,
they run nylon fishing line
in a grid pattern across the open side of the deck. Rigging some fish
line, if feasible, would
probably keep them off.
