    Overheard a woman talking about barn swallows, who said she knocked down a nest and stomped the eggs bc they are nuisance birds. I was speechless.

      Yikes! I hope that doesn’t happen here. Renting scaffolding to get up there is a pain. Strangely, the swallow that showed up this year gave up on the porch after 2 days. He must have found a back up spot pretty fast. 🤞🤞

    A couple helium balloons worked for us. Shiny Mylar balloons with a face seem best.

    I have a 16 ft porch in central Texas with a similar problem. What about an outdoor rated crystal chandelier in your porch and keeping it on 24/7/365?

    I’ve never, ever heard of this bird. I had to Google it.

      I've always loved seeing them swoop around at dusk catching bugs. But, I didn't know the name either until they nested on my porch. 😅

    Help! I’m having this exact problem now 😩😩. They won’t leave even after their babies are grown and flying around. We literally just put up those shiny twisty things and they still are trying to remedy above my door now. We are definitely getting an owl

      I like them, as long as they stay off my house. :) They eat a lot of mosquitos.

    Would having laser lights help?

      Maybe? I haven’t tried that. But you’d think it’d be similar to mirrors or shiny objects. 😊

      If you watch the video, I mention the risks of tracking their poop and bedding into your home. 👍
