This made me laugh because I have a neighbor who is really upset about birds "pooping" on her roof..... reflective tape all over the place.......

Silicone spray applied liberally to all affected surfaces. Works for me anyway.

We had a similar problem with birds leaving a mess on the rail of our pool. Go to the Dollar store and buy a plastic snake and put it on your post. It worked for us.

Bird away and hotfeet are two products. Looks like caulking.

Another inconsiderate, entitled bird owner not cleaning up after their pets. (Sarcasm meter on).

Treetanglefoot. It is sort of goo used to catch bugs.
I've not seen it in years. Perhaps, because I am not looking for it.

try petroleum jelly spread on the rod, cheap and if it doesn't work just wash it off. I have used it in the past with good success.

You can purchase plastic strips that mount on the top of the sign with adhesive strips.
The barbs hardly show from the street as the are clear plastic. I feel your pain. Since installation of these plastic "barbs", we have had no landings and no mess to clean up (over 1 year).
Just do a google search to locate your choice. Works wonders and doesn't hurt the birds.

I have the exact same thing with my name plate sign. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot, & I don't know what they're called but they're plastic spikes that are about a 1/2" part that you can put on the top edge of the sign & it will keep birds from sitting on the top edge of the sign. This will work 100%. Sometimes you see these things around TV where TV have weather vanes. Just where I told you to go & tell them how I explained it to you & they'll know what you're talking about!
