Not foil or mesh: how to keep pigeons away from your balcony
Folk tricks that won't hit your budget and will ensure peace and quiet.
When searching for the right option to combat birds, you come across “mechanical” methods.
So, some craftsmen hang disks, mirrors or foil on the balcony, creating noise sources.
But practice has shown that such methods are both tedious and impractical.
If you don’t have a great desire to cover your loggia with shiny material, you can use simpler methods.
They are no less effective when it comes to keeping annoying birds away from your balcony.
In the first case, the railings can be lubricated with Vaseline. The birds' feet will slip off, so they will quickly find a more comfortable place and will not return.
Some experts advise simply using spices. According to them, the smell of hot pepper, allspice, cinnamon or cloves will scare away pigeons.
It will be even more effective if you combine the two methods. Slippery and unpleasant smelling Vaseline will definitely not be to the birds' liking.
