I am battling 3 of them with a waterhose, but they just come right back and build very sturdy nests. What can I do to rid them once and for all?

Thanks

LOL Possible

Thinking the 12 ga would work, but I'm not so sure the local law would agree.

Some measures I have had success with in the past.

Rat poison

Fake OWL scarecrow

Shoot them

Another effective, although expensive method for preventing roosting pigeons is the use of a commercially available bird barrier system consisting of a series of metal prongs or "porcupine wires" along a metal base that can be attached to a horizontal roosting surface. The needle-like strips of stainless steel act as a prickling fence to exclude birds permanently without harm.

GENERAL,

YOU DO NOT NEED A 12G ALL YOU NEED IS A PELLET GUN. WHEN YOU ARE LAYING IN YOUR BED, WITH THE RETRACTABLE ROOF OPEN ON THE TRAILER. YOU CAN POP THEM OFF ONE AT A TIME..........G.

this is rough but it works. Dogs/Birds/Cats/ anything. Get three or four light bulbs and put them in a thick paper bag. Stomp that bad until all you have is glass saw dust. Take that glass saw dust and mix it with hamburger meat. Then throw the hamburger meat where the critters are. They'll eat it and cut their insides out in the process.

how bout letting the damn pigeons lead their own life.....its not like we own the planet.....

Ok, so maybe im being harsh with you, but still, allow the pigeons to live, they dont have anywhere to go, pretty much like ourselves...

Slim, they are tearing up my house and also pooping allover the place. Their nests are made from concrete with tree branches and they settle under wood overhangs, causing it to deteriorate. Very unpleasant. If they were people, they would be in jail for destruction of personal property.

General, I am offended.

Send me an email and I will get back to you on what you need to do and with recommendations.

Let me know the situation as well.

1) make sure your house insurance is paid up.

2) Have an Iraqi wedding party.

3) Make sure the government knows about the party.

4) Leave before the airstrike starts.

Slim-
My daughter would praise you.
Myself- theyre a pest.
Asked a bud with similar problem- his solution...
Catches him with a simple trap- box with a stick and string- food under box.
Sells em to a local pheasant hunter club.
...
havent had problem for a few- suspect one of the neighbors used another technique to eradicate them all.
I hadnt had heart to do anything other than hose them- and yes they seem to like the "bath",lol
...
now the darn neighbors kids- damn the "softball" comes alwfully close at times to my carwindows.
(I remember being one of them I guess)

General-

Fantastic job at keeping out useless threads in offshore. I can see why you have been promoted to head mod.
