Hey everyone!
I’m at war with pigeons turning my balcony into their personal toilet/romance suite. After scrubbing droppings daily, I bought an ultrasonic repellent claiming to emit “pigeon-distressing” frequencies. Here’s the drama:
- Week 1: Pigeons fled! I celebrated with a coffee on my finally clean balcony.
- Week 3: They returned, perched on the device, cooing mockingly. Now they’ve brought friends.
I’m desperate: Do these gadgets ever work long-term, or are they just expensive bird decor?
Ultrasonic worked for me! Set it to 20kHz + random intervals. Pigeons left in 2 weeks. Pro tip: Move the device weekly so they don’t adapt.
Total waste! Pigeons nested around my ultrasonic unit. Switched to reflective tape + fake owls, they’re gone!
My dog whines when the ultrasonic is on! Switched to citrus peels, pigeons hate the smell, and my balcony smells like a spa. @MightyMouser
, does 20kHz bother pets?
Rewired mine to play eagle screeches via Bluetooth. Pigeons panicked! But my neighbor threatened to sue. @CatCareGuru, fake owls need moving heads, try a rotating base!
Ultrasonic harms bats! Use copper wire barriers, pigeons hate the texture.
My hoa banned nets, so I hung transparent fishing line crisscross. Pigeons can’t land!
@NatureLover64 20kHz is above most pets’ hearing! @HomeHelper
, fishing line is invisible and evil, love it!
@EcoWarrior Added a rotating owl head, pigeons bounced!
@IHeartMice Try stainless steel wire!
