Crow and Raven Control
Like gulls and pigeons, crows and ravens can be kept off ledges with permanent bird control devices like: Bird Coil, Bird Wire, Electrical Products, and Bird Spikes. For complete crow exclusion from an area, 2" mesh Bird Net is recommended. While a lone scarecrow will not generally be effective, an organized bird scare campaign can have some success. As with starlings and blackbirds, variable noisemakers and other bird scare devices, combined with fogging using a harmless irritant substance, can be effective in wide open areas like orchards. To determine the proper crow control product to use, an analysis of the area must be taken so the right bird deterrent product can be selected. There are some bird repellants that are very effective if the crows are using the problem area as a sunning spot, while others are more effective in roosting and nesting situations. See our References page for examples of pest bird control products and their installation, use, and maintenance. Our Products page will give you more detail on each of the items referenced above. |

Crows
and ravens are loud, raucous birds and this is generally the most frequent
complaint about these pest birds. When flocks settle, they often harass people
and animals in "their" area. These highly intelligent birds are scavengers and
eat a wide variety of foods, including many crops, making them a big
agricultural pest bird.
