    we have birds going under our tiles on our roof.
    they are driving us mad.

    I have fitted those eave comb plastic things on other houses but they have never stopped them.

    are there any other options out there

    Is it a house martin nest? If so I believe it's an offence to remove the nest while they're nesting or have young in it. They've been in decline for years due to homeowners destroying their nests.

    We have one in ours and I'm happy to leave it there until they leave for Africa at the end of the summer.

    Leave the nest there and fill it with poison.

    I got some chicken wire and rolled it into a ball, which blocked the hole. The birds couldn't get in then.

    I am trying come up with ways like that to block the birds but not airflow.

    I was thinking of 2 ways. One was to to get carbs made out of metal

    Second was to roll up chicken wire type mesh and fix it all along under the first at tile. It would bend to follow the curves
