I happen to agree with your description they are vermin

I had a problem with barn swallows up north. the state recommended an owl. I placed one near their nest and they walked all over that owl. The state then said well hammer spokes all along the rafters so they can't squat to make a nest. I did and discovered I'd provided studding for their nest making it stronger.

But I am desperate and will try the owl again

Of course all of us would have been spared these sort of problems if God had simply made us all vegans
