Egret Deterants

Here is what we are using so far to ensure the Herons and Egrets do not roost in our neighborhood:

Scary Eye Balloons - inflatable hanging in the trees and helium filled above the tree line

Reflective Tape/Streamers - hanging from the limbs with kite string. We put nuts at the top of the string to help them hang and not get tangled in the limbs.

Beach Balls - They have been decorated with reflective tape, eyes or whatever else is bright

Garland - metallic with bells

Horns - canned air horns and pump horns that never run out

Sling Shots - fire dog food or other small items that will not hurt the birds just startle them

Screamers - a pyrotechnic that screams while it is going up in the air

Bangers - another pyrotechnic that booms really loud up in the tree tops

Propane Cannons - these are set on a timer and create a loud boom

Pool Poles with hooks - this is to tear down any nest in the neighborhood. You can remove any nest as long as there are no eggs.
