Lawn Pests and Birds
Birds are only troublesome when a newly sown or overseeded lawn is embarked upon. At all other time birds are welcome visitors to our lawns. So at these times of the gardening calendar it is imperative that a solution is found for protecting the newly sown seed without harming the bird population. Contact us for details or see the Green Netting on our products page. |

The days of scarecrows and shotguns are gone, but there are other very successful ways of scaring birds away.
A hunting cat is probably the most successful way of keeping birds at bay, however a cat is permanent and you only really want to deter birds during the sowing seed period.
Covering the seed with a material like geotextil will work, but for large areas a little expensive.
But
the most successful, and cheapest ways to deter birds are what
Spanish farmers use.. 
A CD or DVD hanging from a piece
of string and left to twirl in the wind. Unfortunately birds get
accustomed to this.
Tape, similar to the
"Crime Scene" tape that you can buy in rolls. Hung between two sticks this
will catch the wind and vibrate wildly.
