Re: [WISPA] Cheap Bird Deterrent Methods
I dont have a picture but one grain silo we're on had so many pigeons roosting in it I thought it was white but its original color was silver. At any rate, a barn owl decided to live there while the pickings were good. The bad thing was the owl kept attacking me as well. Fortunately, the owl left after all the pigeons were gone. But then, the pigeons came back! Then, suddenly, no birds at all. Then, I noticed the clay pigeon throwers set up permanently near the silo. The owner said, the shot guns scared everything away. That was 2 years ago, still no birds and the bird poop is mostly gone now - thank God!

Re: [WISPA] Cheap Bird Deterrent Methods
At one of our tower sites, we have Peregrine Falcons nesting...not another species of bird, squirrels, chipmunks or other annoying rodents anywhere to be found! And sometimes not another tower climber in site either if they get too annoyed...LOL!

Re: [WISPA] Cheap Bird Deterrent Methods
Yup, use that stuff. Nixilite is another major brand, but be sure to get the plastic stuff to avoid having a bunch of little parasitic antennas sitting right next to your APs. Use a quality structural sealant like GE Silpruf to attach it to your equipment. You can pry it off later if necessary, but it definitely won't be coming off in the wind.

Re: [WISPA] Cheap Bird Deterrent Methods
Nice. I could probably use some of my kids game discs that no longer work although they always take care of them and put them where they belong.

Re: [WISPA] Cheap Bird Deterrent Methods
psst.. Joe didn't get the "hide your antenna" memo either he's got CD's blowing in the wind. But then again maybe I'll tell my customers that if we paint the cable or try to hide it the birds will poke holes in it cause it looks like a worm where it gets scratched... Oh yeah... and that antenna on the front of the roof we have to put it there so the FCC inspector can inspect it while driving by its the law.

Re: [WISPA] Cheap Bird Deterrent Methods
We don't have a major problem with that thankfully, but I will say a nearby tower uses one of those small (I think it's roughly 6" cube-shaped) boxes that make an awful bird cawing racket every few minutes. It can startle humans as well as birds if you're close enough to it :-) Robert West wrote: > Birds suck. Bird crap all over the new sectors, grids, everything.

Re: [WISPA] Cheap Bird Deterrent Methods
The bird poop on the owls around here would indicate one of two things... they don't work, or there is some smart ones here in the south. A gun works better, at least for the smart ones. Heck, an owl and a gun your covered... keep the dumb ones and the smart ones away. Look at it this way, when the used stuff shows up that you bought on ebay with bird poop you know it was being used just like they said it was.

Use old CDs. Using fishing line tie them close to the antennas and let then hang and move in the wind. Birds not like the reflection of light.
