Keeping birds away from docks, decks, boats, and other structures can be a real challenge, but not impossible. If you plan at the beginning of the boating season to keep pest birds away, you will be able to enjoy your boat and deck.
Most bird control methods will require timing, persistence, variety, and a little effort on your part. First, most birds are foragers. If there is any type of food source, they are going to hang around and feast. Be sure to clean, stow, and secure any food items away from the birds. Second, be sure to remove any nests and continue to do so. Once birds begin nesting, it is almost impossible to dislodge them. Third, and most importantly, any effective bird deterrent must avoid "habituation," i.e.,
when birds no longer react to sights or sounds that were originally frightening.

To deter robins from pooping on your back deck, you can use visual deterrents like shiny objects or scare devices, such as reflective tape or plastic owls, to create an unsettling environment for them. Installing bird spikes or netting can also prevent them from landing on surfaces. Additionally, keeping your deck clean and free of food scraps can reduce their attraction to the area. Regularly changing the deterrents may help maintain their effectiveness.

To deter birds from pooping in a decorative fountain, consider using physical barriers such as netting or spikes to make the area less accessible. You can also try adding reflective surfaces, like aluminum foil or shiny objects, which can scare birds away. Additionally, placing decoys of predators nearby or using bird repellent sprays can help keep them at bay. Regular cleaning of the fountain will also discourage birds from returning.
To prevent sparrows from nesting in your retractable awning, consider installing bird spikes or netting to deter them from landing and nesting. Regularly inspect and clean the awning to remove any nesting materials before they settle in. Additionally, using visual deterrents like reflective tape or plastic owls can help keep birds away.
