I live on the 16th floor of a building and pigeons seem to love my balcony. How can I get rid of them when there is some nasty old woman feeding them in the parking lot next door. I call her nasty because she drives over to the parking lot to feed them when she could feed them at home. Does rice really cause them to explode? Is there a more benign method that I could use?
I cannot take these flying rats much longer.
There are three sure-fire ways of defeating the Rats of the Air:
1. Poison them
2. Put spikes on your balcony so they cannot land
3. Buy an eagle or hawk
I personally recommend the third option. Aside from being the option of professionals, employing a Bird of Prey adheres to the Law of Nature amongst the bird kingdom. And when all your pigeons have gone, the hawk/eagle will fly off to find more pigeons to eat, thus benefitting other neighbourhoods and making YOU a good citizen.
Plus you could train the hawk/eagle to attack the rat feeder.
