About ready to breakout the BB gun. I put up some shiney streamers. They worked for a few days. Thanks Mo MY BACKYARD , 20,000 ACRES , NO MOWING

I use GOOP on them, sets up pretty quick and will hold them forever. they come with a good adhesive too. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Bird-X-...pikes-Bird-Control-Kit-SP-10-N/206508418

The long strips of holographic streamers worked for about a week. now they ignore them. The covered area over the boat slip is maybe 450 square ft. Lots of rafters and supports. Spikes or gel on all surfaces would take a long time to install ( I don't work on ladders anymore) thanks MO MY BACKYARD , 20,000 ACRES , NO MOWING

Do it daily so you don't take the chance of having eggs in the nest . http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Siberman/media/zzzzz-1.jpg.html?sort=2&o=18

I've got a persistent robin trying to build a nest on my porch, despite the wind blowing the nest material off the rafter within hours. Been at it for 3 days now, and I am tired of the mess. Will the gel work on wood? Do you just leave it in a bead, or does it need to be spread out over the whole surface?

I put it up on my porch 3 years ago and the birds still won't attempt to build a nest up there. Ebolacane Researcher CovidNado Chaser McRib Pro Staff Team Beans

Take some of those lizards from your tackle (you know you have plenty) and place them in the places where they are building nest. Pin or glue the lizard down otherwise, they will move it and continue to build. This works with worms but lizards work the best. Trust me, those birds will leave and never return. FishKen
