Hi Adrian, We had the same problem at Horsham Museum with a pigeon infestation of the building. The Council's buildings officer suggested a sonic scarer but it didn't do anything to deter them, and although high pitched, I could hear it going off, and we had complaints from the dental surgery next door because their customers could hear it likewise. I wouldn't recommend them.
