Default Birds in the hangar

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


The birds (pigeons) in our hangar died suddenly from high velocity lead poisoning.

Oddly, the roof started leaking just afterwards...

Actually, farmers solved that problem many decades ago. Just use the
correct ammo.

If you use indoor-artillery, yes. A bb-gun is the tool of choice for a clandestine job like this. :-)

Using wrong ammo. I used .22 scattershot to rid a hangar of pigeons quite effectively some years back.
