So my family thinks I am crazy. I have an immense fear of birds dive bombing me. Every year at this time we get swallows perching on our porch on top of the window ledge. Anyway today was the first day that they have been a nuisance. I think I'm going insane when just to get out of the house I have to scream and yell to get them to fly away. Whenever I want to go out my heart starts beating faster and it gets a little crazy. I went online to see if I could come up with ways to keep them from perching under there. One post said to spray canola oil on the area which I did. Hopefully that will prevent their nest from sticking if they try to build again. I already sprayed down the mud they had started putting up. I was hoping the oil would deter them from perching too, but it doesn't seem to have worked since I can see one up there right now. Anyway I think tomorrow I'm going to tape tinfoil to the roof of my porch and let it hang down in that area.
I read a lot of posts on the web that said just to leave the swallows alone that they are good for bugs. Well if they were on their porch dive bombing them I don't think they would want them their either.
