Keeping Starlings out of the eves/attic

phog

Last year I had starlings nesting under my roof tiles and some got into the attic, this year I'd like to try prevent them from getting into the attic or stop them at source. Is there any electronic device that might emit a noise that would scare them form the attic at least?

It's a two storey house so I'd like to try preventing them from the inside rather than I having to climb up on the outside. Though I was thinking of using a mesh along the shoot and turned up over the face of the roof tile.

I'm putting some of this up around the outside of a shed this weekend to stop them, I'm just going to staple it up on the outside. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BMM576B4?

I was thinking of doing that inside but I'd never get it down low enough

Starlings can be quite determined and might try push their way through that, getting stuck in the process.

The only proper way to prevent starlings is to make sure any potential holes are sealed or can't be made large enough for then to squeeze through.

It will have multiple layers so won't be stretched to leave any big holes.
