Pigeon.. powerline.. first world problems

[_Mja_]

So, how can I put in measures to prevent pigeons sitting on the powerline that goes across my drive.

This time of year I get droppings on the car daily. I'm not talking your usual 1-2 inch splat, I'm getting 5-10 inch curry night style splatters of crap on the car and is really irratating me now.

I should have added - the power line runs across the front of the property, not attached to my house. I've got a pic but it is crap.



I can't access it to tie anything to it myself. It appears to feed the 3rd house like mine down.

Is this a private powerline or the service line into your property? I the service have a chat with your local DNO and they may be able to sort something out as you don’t want to touch the conductor just incase!

Yeah it is a service line i believe to a neighbouring house - I'll try contacting them, perhaps there is something they can do .

I've fired off an email to the power lines poeple, but I don't hold much hope, a good idea though so thanks for the suggestion.

I've tried scarecrow and some shiney dangly things in the window of the house that overlooks the line.

Re Car Port that was my first solution but my wife said no way. I've got a tandem garage around the otherside of the house. This really is first world problems - I've got 5 cars so selling off one and grassing that space is my wife's preferred option
