I'm planning to do this to mine. The frogs like to hang out there and there are droppings which I do not want to bring into the house, so I rarely use the front door. Also, there's an overhang and mud wasps are constantly building there. So I'm going to screen it in when the tax refund check comes!<BR/><BR/>Tink *~*~*<BR/>NOW PLAYING at My Mobile Adventures *~*~* :<BR/><A HREF="http://mymobileadventures.com/2009/03/disneys-port-orleans-french-quarter" REL="nofollow">Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter resort</A>Tink *~*~*https://www.blogger.com/profile/07997190070554972582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-41237922605138631032009-03-05T14:38:00.000-05:002009-03-05T14:38:00.000-05:00What a great solution...I like critters as much as...What a great solution...I like critters as much as anyone...but not pesky critters!nikkicrumpethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127473424859610429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-82295719058477305112009-03-04T23:44:00.000-05:002009-03-04T23:44:00.000-05:00Pigeons, ugh!

At one of the churches I worked in New Orleans in the '80's---they had a horrible pigeon problem. I'm not sure what they did to get rid of them---but they found something humane. Good Luck!!! I think they are the worst nuisances of ALL of the birds. <BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-10271959603932833282009-03-04T12:35:00.000-05:002009-03-04T12:35:00.000-05:00I drive my hubby crazy because I call the pigeons....I drive my hubby crazy because I call the pigeons...doves and he says there is no comparisons.

Words can't describe the mess they were making. For some reason they no longer hang around our house. Maybe it's because I am more stubborn than they are. Every time, which was often, I saw one on our house I would go out and clap my hands like thunder and they would fly away. It was a lot of exercise for me--and them. I guess they finally got tired.Musings of A Ministerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991359333687288549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-68102074628577690102009-03-04T12:02:00.000-05:002009-03-04T12:02:00.000-05:00I am glad you found a way to get rid of them.
