Birds Pooping on Name Sign Attached to Lampost
Any ideas on how to keep off birds that sit on the rod that extends from the lamp post & holds the name sign.
I have to clean the sign with soap & water every 2 days PLUS it looks bad from the street. |

Find a piece of Barbed wire or the like and attach to the top.

Sign poop
A neighbor put a coiled, rubber snake at the base of his lamp post. It seems to scare the birds away.

Monofilament fishing line
A couple of lengths of fishing line suspended just above the horizontal rod ought to do the trick. They'll learn very quickly.

If none of the above work, there is a product that utilities use called 'bird stop' you might be able to get an 18 inch sample. It goes on with ty-raps, and has a lot of bristles pointed up that keep the birds from landing.

some stores sell a product that creates discomfort if the bird stands on it. Comes in a tube and you just lay a bead of it on the rod.

I wouldn't use a hose on the name signs.....It might just get water inside the plastic casing.
But thats just me.... |

Reflector tape will do it. Tie several ribbons of reflector tape on the rod and the birds will not come near. Or wrap reflector tape around the light post. We use it on a fruit tree, it works. People who live on the ocean use it on their balconies to keep the seagulls off.
