I have a big problem with seagulls at my dock. I see they have electronic bird repellers. Do they work?

I got a solar powered motion activated sprinkler on order. I’m hoping that’s the answer. I’ll report back.

Get yourself a pet falcon. Job I am at now. The old tenant worked for terranea and the Trump golf course. He would bring his falcons to chase away the seagulls during weddings.

We use falcons for our job sites to keep pigeons from becoming residents before we finish the buildings and before Flock Off Pigeon deterrent is activated

I have been thinking about making something like that for my dock. Many years ago when I was still in CA, I had a cat or cats that would use my front lawn for a bathroom. I rigged a motion sensor to the sprinkler system and problem was solved.

My house in Parker is over ran with damn cats. When I'm staying there, not one in sight. When I leave, my backyard outdoor furniture becomes a sex lounge for those little bastards. My Ring cameras have seen more porn than a Motel 6. I'll need a solution after seeing all of the kittens running around.

As for Seagulls, the old sprinkler works well, especially on a dock. The only problem is getting the motion sensor placed in the right location that doesn’t pick up the passing boats except for the wave tractors, squirt the shit out of them.

Believe me, I have given that some serious thought! I have a great location with the exception that my place probably sustains the most damage from the surf boats.

We have a couple of hawks that moved into the neighborhood. A couple of weeks ago there was a bird absolutely destroyed on my side yard. Came home from Havasu and there was a mound of feathers by the door. Went for a walk yesterday and saw this.
