We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Donwill saying something like: I'm hoping to deter pigeones from perching on the ridge of the conservatory and sh......g on it. Those Cobbler Pigeons are right noisy *******s, sitting up and hammering nails in all night long. |

Cheers Don When you see them used on buildings they look pretty effective but the slightest gap and there is often a matching stain down the walls. I used something similar but plastic on the ridge of our garden swing and the seat is now sh*t free. It is called bird comb and available from places that sell upvc cladding and roofline plastic products. like this http://www.pbs-limited.co.uk/Product...ller-Stop.aspx bit cheaper too! Bob |

Bob Just to add, the fingers are at about 110 degree to the fixing face so two lengths in parallel make a V like strip similar to the screw fix picture. Bob |

Bob Some houses across the road from me that face a park with a lake were troubled with gulls. The metal spikes (Screwfix type) have worked well for the last 3 of 4 years with no sign of falling off or deteriorating |

Cheers Don This sort of thing was fitted on the sills at work a while ago and we seem to have a lot fewer pigeons and a lot less of their by-products around the place. Mind you, at the same time, they did manage to encourage some falcons to take up residence, so that would've helped things along quite a bit...... |
