1. Remove food sources: Make sure there is no food available for the vultures, such as garbage, pet food or dead animals. Keep trash cans covered and put away any pet food after feeding.
2. Scare them away: Use noise makers such as air horns, whistles or loud music to startle the vultures when you see them. You can also try spraying them with water from a hose.
3. Hang reflective objects: Hang shiny objects such as CDs or tin foil around the areas where the vultures are perching. The reflections can deter them from landing.
4. Install netting or spikes: Install bird netting or spikes on the areas where the vultures are roosting. This can physically prevent them from landing.
5. Block access: Seal up any holes or gaps in your roof, eaves or siding that the vultures could use to get into your attic or crawl space.
6. Contact your local wildlife control agency: If the vulture problem persists, contact your local wildlife control agency for further assistance. They may be able to trap and relocate the vultures.
It is important to be persistent in your efforts to discourage turkey buzzards from roosting on your house. It may take some time and effort, but eventually they should get the message and find another place to roost.
