Some birds look very beautiful, but there are also many species that are frequently disturbed and destructive. To deal with the major problem caused by birds, you can use intimidation tactics like making noises, using lights, and animal dummies. In addition, you can prevent birds from entering or landing on buildings by covering openings and spreading slats over any exposed ledges. If the birds are still stubborn and won’t go, then you can use stronger measures, which is to trap them and take them away, or ask a wildlife expert for help.
Steps
Challenging to let the birds go

Install scarecrow. Buy a ready-made scarecrow from a craft or garden store. You can also make your own scarecrow by hammering two wooden slats into the shape of a cross, putting clothes on and stuffing them with straw. Place the scarecrow in bird’s eye view and watch them fly away. [1] X Research Source
- Every few days you move the scarecrow away so the bird can’t get used to it, or you change the scarecrow’s clothes. [2] X Research Source

Place animal dummies around the house. Buy some cheap plastic animal dummies. Choose species that specialize in hunting birds like snakes, owls, swans, and even wolves. Place one or two dummies around the perimeter of where birds usually roost. Every few days you will alternate with another dummy to keep the birds away. [3] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9b/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-3-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid- of-Birds-Step-3-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9b/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-3- Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-3-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Activate the sprinkler. This solution doesn’t work for all locations, but is a great tool for keeping birds away from decks or pools. Install a motion-sensing sprinkler aimed at the area to be chased away. Buy this device online or at a garden supply store. Every time the bird tries to land, a jet of water will spew out, scaring it. [4] X Trusted Source National Audubon Society Go to Source
- Don’t worry about the power of the water jet. This is a harmless way to keep birds away. [5] X Research Sources

Hanging bubbles. Buy some balloons with faces printed on them to hang in a place where birds are roaming. Fasten the balloons to a post or tree branch so they don’t get blown away by the wind. Add a few fluttering ribbons to increase the effect. You need to rotate things every few days to upset the bird. [6] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6d/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-5-Version-6.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid- of-Birds-Step-5-Version-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6d/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-5- Version-6.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-5-Version-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use glossy or reflective materials. Cut aluminum foil into long strips and hang them on trees or bushes. Punch holes in aluminum pans that are no longer in use and hang them like aluminum foil. Hanging glossy CDs or applying reflective tape can also repel birds. You have to leave plenty of space for these objects to rotate and move, as movement will scare birds more. [7] X Research Sources
- There is a product called “optical flame gel” that creates the image of a burning flame. They are attached to the ledges of buildings so that birds do not dare to perch or sleep. [8] X Research Sources
- Metal propellers sold at most gardening centers can also repel birds very effectively. [9] X Research Source

Play the sound that makes the bird tense. Buy a CD with these sounds and play it near where the bird is infested. You may have to turn up the volume to get the sound to reach the tall trees. Although this method is noisy, it will work best if you keep the sound on for many nights. Starlings and other destructive birds have been found to have moved their sleeping places due to the disturbance of this noise. [10] X Trusted Source University of Missouri Extension Go to Source

Use dogs. Border Cplies, Shepherds and other breeds are very fond of and are also very good at chasing birds. You can hire a trained dog to patrol bird-infested areas or borrow a dog from someone you know. Take your dog in the early morning and late evening when birds are most active. [11] X Trusted Source National Audubon Society Go to Source
- For example, a shepherd dog commuting on the beach during rush hour can reduce gull populations by 99 percent. [12] X Research Source
- Put a bib and leash on the dog to prevent it from harming the bird.

Use birds of prey. Contact your local zoo or wildlife center to find a falconer who specializes in training falcons and other birds of prey. The falconer will charge an hourly rate to work for you. They will command falcons or hawks to fly around to intimidate smaller birds. [13] X Research Source
- This is a great choice for places where birds are no longer afraid of animal dummies or gentler methods. However, this service is expensive with an average fee of around $55/hour (in the US).
- People also sell kites shaped like birds of prey. Some people have had success flying these kites over bird-infested areas. [14] X Research Source

Combine and alternate methods. Birds are quite intelligent and very patient when it comes to finding places to play and nest. To keep them away for a long time, every few days you have to change tactics and create multiple layers of protection. Find a way to create an element of surprise for the bird. [15] X Research Source
Keep birds away from the house
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/af/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-10-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid- of-Birds-Step-10-Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/af/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-10- Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-10-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove excess food and water. Get rid of bird food trays as that is an readily available food source for wild birds. Try not to throw breadcrumbs or anything else to feed the birds. Empty the trays so the birds can’t bathe, and pump water into the puddles. [16] X Research Source
- To keep animals from snooping on leftovers, close trash cans tightly and cover compost piles with tarpaulins. [17] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/ae/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid- of-Birds-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/ae/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-11- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Clean up the ground. Thinly trim dense clumps of trees, and trim away weeds or shrubs. Clear away dead logs or trees. All of these will provide shelter for wild birds to hide from predators and nest. Continue to maintain the lawn this way after the birds have left to avoid attracting other flocks of birds. [18] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8c/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid- of-Birds-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8c/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-12- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Install bird netting. Look for plastic netting at a hardware or garden supply store. Use stakes or poles to make a grid around the trees to be protected. Put a net over bushes that can be infested by birds. Use netting to shield places where birds can nest on buildings, like roof purlin systems. [19] X Research Source
- The 10cm mesh net is wide enough to keep out crows and other large birds. Buy nets with smaller eyes if you want to keep out small birds. [20] X Research Source
- Before catching the net, push the foliage aside and look inside a bush or large tree to check for any birds trapped in it.

Swing the rope to form parallel lines. Use a cable or fishing line strung in parallel lines about 30cm apart above the area you want to protect. Arrange pipe bricks along the sides to make anchor points. This method cannot prevent birds from perching, but birds will not be able to make large nests.

Blocking door. Sometimes birds will fly directly into the house when the door is open. Hang thick plastic or rubber blinds over the door frame so birds can’t fly through. Cut rubber or plastic ropes 25cm wide and hang 5cm apart to create a heavier obstacle. [22] X Research Source

Install a bird guard. Buy some metal stands to install in places where birds often perch or sleep. Most people place slats on ledges, around gutters, on roof ledges and patio eaves. The support table is usually attached to the structure of the house with glue or screws. [23] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/10/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid- of-Birds-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/10/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-16- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Install the discharge plate. These are elastic flat plates that emit an electric spark when pressed. So when birds land on it, they get a jerk, but it doesn’t hurt. This is a great choice for signs or ledges as they are manufactured in a wide range of colors and thicknesses. [24] X Research Source
- Some run on electricity or batteries, while others are designed to store and operate on solar energy. [25] X Research Sources

Use a bird repellent (powder or spray). Buy bird repellent to apply to bird-perching surfaces, like ledges or porches. Spread evenly to make sure no spots are left. There is no scientific evidence to support this method, but some people think that the smell of the substance alone is enough to repel birds. [26] X Research Sources
- Some bird repellents can contaminate surfaces. If you are concerned about this, apply a layer of masking tape before applying it. [27] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ec/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-18-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid- of-Birds-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ec/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-18- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-18-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Seal the openings to the outside. Starlings and other small birds often prefer to nest in small spaces. Go around your house looking for openings, insert a copper mesh or steel wool into the holes. Cover the hole with a piece of wood, metal, or mesh. [28] X Research Sources
- Seal gutters and vents with a mesh screen. [29] X Trusted Source National Audubon Society Go to Source
- Don’t just use something to fill the hole as the bird can peck it open.
Take stronger measures

Hire a wildlife expert. If you’ve tried some of the tactics that haven’t worked, maybe it’s time to hire a wildlife expert. Contact your local zoo or wildlife center to find a bird expert. They will come to your house and try to move the large flock of birds elsewhere. [30] X Research Source
- You will have to pay for their service. You can contract a professional if they need to visit your home more than once to solve the problem.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e4/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-20-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid- of-Birds-Step-20-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e4/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-20- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-20-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use traps to catch and carry birds elsewhere. Contact Wildlife Services or an Animal Control Center to rent or borrow a trap. If they don’t have one, you can buy a “one-way rod door” or a “funnel door” trap online for a relatively cheap price and resell it when it’s not used up. Set traps around bird-infested areas and check daily. When you see birds trapped in a trap, drive them far away and release them. [31] X Trusted Source Penn State Extension Go to source

Check before using methods to kill birds. Find out the laws in your area before killing any destructive birds. Some species are protected by law, while others are considered “unprotected” and you can shoot or kill them with chemicals. [32] X Trusted Source Penn State Extension Go to Source
- For example, some states in the US allow citizens to shoot pigeons and sparrows as a way of controlling bird populations. However, you should check your local laws as some places do not allow shooting wildlife in residential areas. It’s best to take all other measures before considering this action.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/49/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-22-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid- of-Birds-Step-22-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/49/Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-22- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Birds-Step-22-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Destroy nests and bird eggs. Some people find this method disgusting but it is a safe way to reduce the number of wild birds. Break bird eggs every two weeks during the spring and summer months. Also remove bird nests on window awnings, gutters and other unwanted places. [33] X Research Sources
- Another less dirty method is to put birth control pills in bird food. However, you cannot guarantee that only certain bird species will be affected. [34] X Research Source
- Depending on the bird species, you may need to contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for a permit to remove eggs or nests.
Advice
- Install a cat walkway on the nearby area so that the cat can come and chase the birds. [35] X Trusted Source Penn State Extension Go to Source
Warning
- Wear a mask and gloves if you want to clean the bird nest site. This is how to prevent lice or bird diseases from spreading to people. [36] X Research Source
