Our club is discussing what we can do to deter birds from perching in our hangar and messing up our aircraft. Can anyone recommend a technique? Are there any methods which have not worked?

The birds are small, probably swallows.

Thanks Ben

We have used the Bird X QuadBlaster QB-4 for over a decade, works very well keeping birds out of the hanger, Emits a very high pitch series of sound pulses that most people can not hear, some younger people can detect it and find it annoying. This devise is not cheap around $550.00. we have it mounted on a side wall of a 60 x 60 hanger. Installed a on off wall switch to shut it down when necessary.

Good to hear these gizmos work, this is one of the proposals for our club (using a mix of ultrasonic and audible sounds including distress and predator sounds).
Regards Ben

The electronic noisemakers were thought of as "most people cannot hear" or "all you hear is an intermittent clicking noise".
It's not as bad as the Ludovico treatment*, but probably best to turn the thing off when people are around unless they're deaf in one ear and can't hear out the other.
