They hate the smell of mothballs.

Went to the hanger today and bird crap on my plane where they sit on the overhead beams. Anything that will work?
I killed about 20 pigeons and a few others with a pellet gun. They finally stopped coming back.
You need permission to hire a guy to let his bird loose in your hangar??
Was tried in our hangar, made roof leak and ricochets off the beams were scary. Moved over to a good AEG air soft, got the job done with out shooting through the roof or eing a danger to the birds that belong in the hangar.
Printed silhouette bird kill markers for my tool box, ended up with better than a dozen for a few years in a row, now they don't come back.
My Diana has a 3-8 scope and is scary accurate. The birds (and ~75 squirrels so far) stop the pellets and prevent ricochets.
Perfect, we had a red rider
I feel your pain. The squirrels eat our roof and chew their way into the attic. Or did until I bought the Diana. Dave B. and I kept a tally for a couple of years. He stalked wearing his bathrobe.

A good break barrel with a scope is pretty incredible. I told my female friends I bought the rabbit meat at a local gourmet grocery store.
A friend of mine keeps a rubber snake on his cowl.
I think what they did is let the falcons hunt the airport grounds, and for that, yeah, some permission and coordination is a good thing. If it's a dual use (Mil/Civ) it's even more important.
PS the plastic owl to 'scare' birds away. Save your money.
