Instructions
-
-
1
Place a ladder adjacent to the nest so that you can reach it.
-
2
Place the dust mask over your nose and mouth before attempting to remove the nest; barn sparrow droppings can cause illness such as histoplasmosis if inhaled.
-
3
Remove the complete barn sparrow nest from the nesting spot entirely.
-
4
Scrape the area clean of any sparrow waste or nesting material to discourage their return.
-
5
Paint the nesting area with a high gloss latex paint to discourage the sparrows from rebuilding their nest. The high gloss latex paint will make it difficult for the nest to stick to the area.
