Leave them be. They do more good than harm. I wouldn't worry about having to spray poop down. They're roosting there is proof we're taking away their natural habitat.

Our back patio has 3 nests and they come back yearly. I leave them alone and they grace me with taking care of bugs and something to do on the weekends.

We already have a scary, one-eyed owl on the porch.

It's only good for Halloween month!

Once a critter becomes a nuisance, its toast around my house. I have little patience for bird poop.

You've got a giant porch. I'd move the chairs down there somewhere else for a couple of weeks. Spray the poop off every couple days. It's a two minute job and a good dead. Critters have a hard enough time these days, I would hate to make it harder on them.

Worst case relocate the nest to some place obvious and close by. They will almost certainly be abandoned, but I guess you are putting it in the good lords hands.

we use to have woodpeckers peck holes in stucco between 3,000-5,000 a year for a couple years we did everything to stop it that everyone said. I found the best cure for woodpeckers was a 17HMR no more damage after that. We all have to make choices

Leave 'em be... It's only a month or so out of the year... The rest of the time they'll help keep the bug population under control...

Leave them.

Once the babies leave the nest, remove the nest and block it so they cannot build again.

I had the same problem with robins in my arbor a few years ago, I put a couple of rubber snakes right where they were building and they went elsewhere

I agree, they won't be there forever. Remember, it is not nice to mess with Mother Nature.
