We had a problem with buzzards roosting on our library....males seeing themselves and banging on the windows scaring people inside. We decided to try running them off with the drone and it seemed to work. Not sure if this would work for your birds. There is always a risk of loosing an expensive drone so it needs to be an operator that knows how to “fly away” from them pretty quickly if they decide to try to fight you. They definitely did not like the drone and moved on. Good luck and keep us updated. Interesting problem. JTV

I have no practical experiences with this system, but it is offered for professional pest control companies from KILLGERM longer time. See https://www.ornitec.de/produkte/bird-free-gel/ Other alternative could be “Laser technology” but it probably bring the same problems with the neighborhood as sound systems: See https://pps-vertrieb.de/agrilaserr-autonomic.html or https://pps-vertrieb.de/vogelabwehr/cat-lasertechnologie_222.html Best Stephan Stephan Biebl Ingenieurbüro für Holzschutz 83671 Benediktbeuern Germany www.holzwurmfluesterer.de Von: 'Adrian Doyle' via MuseumPests <pestlist@googlegroups.com> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 21.

It has been suggested that the birds see it as a ‘lake’ and we have never had success with things like shock systems or brining a hawk around the site Our pest control company has recommended high frequency acoustic scarers I don’t have any experience of them so have any of you used them and is it worth the investment?
