After scouring the internet for the last 2 days to try and find an answer for you, it seems that lots of soapy water and a hard brush are the only things that work. Only thing is it involves elbow grease as well.

Sorry :o

So... what is the best product natural or supermarket that removes Bird Shit the easiest and quickest... elbow grease excluded???

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth and a shit for a shit...

Find out where the bird lives, climb the tree, drop yer cacks and then have a long slow dump in it's nest.....I saw this on "HOW" back in the '70's.

Thanks for your attempts Wendy but that is the current method and it just does not seem to be satisfactory there must be an easier method that doesn't involve climbing trees.

Hubby said, vinegar in water, but it won't take it off straight away. It's more a put a wet vinegary cloth over it and leave it for a while, it should then come off easier.

The techy term for it is Guano http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guano


I have no idea where he gets this info from :confused: :D

He also said to get a statue of a plastic hawk or other big bird like that and place it where you are having the problem, it should keep the birds away.

Unless you have parrots or something from their family, cos it won't bother them so much, as they are a bit more intelligent. For them you'd need something that is their natural predator. For help with that I need to know where abouts you live.

A pest control expert can offer more specific assistance.
