I think we need to see pictures of the fence in order for us to continue this conversation. Also how far are you from the sea? Are great cormrants an issue with you?

They say that if you have a cat problem in your garden you should go to your local wildlife park or zoo and get some big cat poo to put on your garden so it scares off the domestic ones

The same principle might work for your birds, go and get some big eagle crap and slap it all over your fence and maybe they little buggers wont do it any more

failing that at least you wont see the little crap for the big crap

There are two ways, both as good as each other.

1. If you have a garage why not move it in there. That way you can enjoy your fence without birds cr@ping on it.

2. Same as 1. but it involves a tent not a garage.

In both you don't have to worry about the weather either !! a win win situation I feel.

Hi Nick, all black stealth Smart Roadster do you have the same problem with bird crap?



It's not Seagulls im having problems with, i live miles from the sea, it's mainly Blackbirds that are the main culprits

One of my neighbours has just put a new fence up on both sides, and painted it all a nice shade of deep orange

The tops of all the fences are completly covered in bird cr@p

My fence (about the same length, 20 panels both sides) doesnt have a single piece of bird poo on them at all, and they didn't when I painted them a few years back

however I had 2 cats then, and now the cats are gone, I have a dog that likes to eat birds too

I can now quite safely and securely paint my fence again



















cue a thread from me in a few weeks on how to stop birds cr@pping on my newly painted fence

RTM'd for being racist

You could try feeding the birds, then spiking the bird food with Immodium.
