Our museum is located right beside an active airport for small aircraft - and they also have a problem with seagulls and geese - especially during migration. They use acoustic scarers to deter birds - but instead of high frequency they use lower frequency "booms" - might not be super practical for central London - but the Aviation Industry might have some good leads on deterring birds.

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?
