No, but since ultrasonic stuff seems to deter cats and teenagers (not the same product for each!) I thought there must be something similar for birds. It's pricey though.

It wouldn't take much to find out what frequency would be effective and setup a low-cost solution yourself. Would just require suitable amp/speaker together with some sound synthesis software (plenty of free stuff online). Or alternatively there are various wav files of test tones availble online that may work.

I certainly wouldn't splash out much money unless you have serious problems - i.e. I'd imagine those units are intended for commercial applications?

Search for the mosquito mp3 file, try it through a portable CD player & see if kids can hear it & you cannot.

If it works (and not all cd players should be able to play it) then try that near them.

You need these guys

Also, have you thought about cutting all the branches off the tree? As a bonus, you could then rent it out to BT as a telegraph pole.

These must be failed homing pigeons, so if you can catch them and take them around the corner and let them go, then they will never find their way back to your tree
