Is Avitrol registered for use in Britain? Having been the consultant to the Philadelphia Zoo for over 20 years, I can attest to its use in moving large flocks of pigeons completely out of the zoo. There's a version also labeled for sea gulls. Tom Parker

We decided to try running them off with the drone and it seemed to work. Not sure if this would work for your birds. There is always a risk of loosing an expensive drone so it needs to be an operator that knows how to “fly away” from them pretty quickly if they decide to try to fight you. They definitely did not like the drone and moved on. Good luck and keep us updated. Interesting problem. JTV Joel Voron Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Conservation Dept.

I have no practical experiences with this system, but it is offered for professional pest control companies from KILLGERM longer time. See https://www.ornitec.de/produkte/bird-free-gel/ Other alternative could be “Laser technology” but it probably bring the same problems with the neighborhood as sound systems: See https://pps-vertrieb.de/agrilaserr-autonomic.html or https://pps-vertrieb.de/vogelabwehr/cat-lasertechnologie_222.html Best Stephan Stephan Biebl Ingenieurbüro für Holzschutz 83671 Benediktbeuern Germany www.holzwurmfluesterer.de Von: 'Adrian Doyle' via MuseumPests <[email protected]> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 21. Oktober 2020 11:25 An: [email protected] Betreff: [PestList] Bird scarers Hi folks Since Covid, we are having serious problems with seagulls and pigeons settling on the Great Court glass roof (see image of aerial view) and making a hell of a mess. It has been suggested that the birds see it as a ‘lake’ and we have never had success with things like shock systems or brining a hawk around the site Our pest control company has recommended high frequency acoustic scarers I don’t have any experience of them so have any of you used them and is it worth the investment?
