Man Chores #2: Pesky Bird Nest Removal

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!

On our humble back porch, there is a little spot between the top of the main support beam in the corner and the underside of the "ceiling" that provides an ample platform for the little birdies that fly around our neighborhood to set up shop. These nests become a nuisance, as they stain the siding and just generally make a mess on the porch. As such, I have been summoned several times to rid the perch of these nests.

Finally, we decided that something needed to be done to prevent the birds from nesting on our porch. I tossed around the idea of just wedging something up in the space to prevent them from getting into the beloved corner but then I figured they could just nest beside the block. My dad then suggested to create some spike strips to glue on the edges.

About an hour later here is the final result:
It's been three days and no nests.

Mission: Accomplished

St. Joseph, patron of families, champion of purity, and model of humility, pray for us!
