Out of all of the bird control topics out there, I find the grackle’s the most interesting. I really do not have any real idea why other than the fact that I have never had a problem with them. Well, don’t run off just yet, I do have some experience with getting rid of these birds without harming them. I really don’t even know if there is a hunting season for these birds, but this post will focus getting rid of them peacefully. Anyways, our last set of tactics focused on seagull deterrent so check it out if you haven’t already. It is chalked full of great information on tactics and strategies that I have had success with in the past. So lets move on to grackle deterrent shall we?
Grackles are just like any other pest bird out there in that we need to stop feeding them. It’s just a natural occurrence in life for animals to congregate where the most food is right? Well, that is the concept to understand. So lets try to remove this link in the chain by ceasing all feedings of these birds. Yes, this sounds like it is too simple to work, but it is usually better to start off small and then move to the more advanced methods.
I really like many of the grackle repellent devices at Bird X. They have some of the most respected bird deterrent products on the market when it comes to the electronics. They have ultrasonic bird repellers that work by sending out really high end sound frequencies that are excessively loud to grackles. Sonic bird repellents work differently from the ultrasonic gadgets. They mimic the distress and warning calls made by the grackle which works to repel them. These devices are essential in grackle bird control.
If you want to keep them out of a garden or specific, confined area, then you may want to try a bird net. If you just want to keep them off of a fence, roof, or post, then try a bird spike. Bird spikes are made of metal, plastic, polycarbonate, and several other materials. Essentially, they all do the same thing. They keep birds form landing on fence lines and places like that because they have spikes radiating out of the center which makes the roost look less inviting. Think about it – would you want to land on some bird spikes? If so, then take another look at them, because they look very unfriendly. Anyways, they do not pierce the birds. Bird spikes only stop them from roosting and perching in a particular area.
