The cherry farms here place electric nets over the trees like make a big bug zapper , it's doesnt take much a electric cattle Fence will get it done , they also fly over them and spray them with something that causes them to die when they get a chil , these birds will adapt to anything , there like rats . Having your workers work in bird poo is crazy , these birds migrate like ducks that have bird flue and there's also parasites And all kinds of nasty things in that stuff , I would guess that working in a gypsum plant would weaken your lungs as it is , you should hire a professional before your standing over one of your workers looking at his kids crying there eyes out. Hire one that handles this kinda problem not a pest control bug smasher guy . Look up his past jobs , if it was me I would trap them,I would find there food sorce , we're are they roosting maybe I could wack them at night, sounds like a fun job wish I lived closer .

Likely by the sounds this is more of a mess and slip and fall hazard etc... I try but honestly I can't sit by and not say something when I see you post these hysterical ideas that factory workers are going to drop dead due to some starlings in a warehouse without knowing anything other than what was posted by the original poster. good grief!

no guns allowed equal limited solutions. Why are the starlings attracted to the site. Do they eat Gypsum? Humans eat gypsum! Why not birds? When the ingredients on certain food products list "fillers" it very well could be gypsum. No joke. I've hauled trailer loads of food grade gypsum from a gypsum plant to bakeries.

During WW2, The government authorized/ordered bakeries to add sawdust to the flour to help stretch it further. And they never went back. Read the ingrediants on a loaf of bread, and you will see "Added Celulose" on the list.

Seen this done in a 2 acre cherry orchard once. The owner got 4 cheap speakers and placed them on poles equally spaces around the orchard and hooked them to his house stereo. Country worked and scaring the birds away but rock worked better. no birds in the orchard while the stereo was playing.

I would look into unleaded pellets and reaproach the boss about using a pellet gun as part of the solution. There are som short distance pellets that disentegrate into what looks like paper. WCS one of the sponsors here I has a laser system that I think would solve your problem. All hazing works much better if you can kill some of them and the world will be a better place. The only sure solution would be netting or closing it off with gypsom board. The solution may seem expensive but should they figure how much time =money they spend cleaning up bird (I'm stufid and don't no inny better) even without a workers comp claim they will realize the solution is cheap its the problem thats expensive. I wish I worked there so I could get sick and start a wildlife business with my disability check.

That not fare I got yelled at for talking like that , there's know way I would work or let people work in starling crap, this birds migrates like wild ducks do that have the bird flue , bats migrate and now have the bat flue , coming soon starling flue to a bakery nere you Pesky, what he said about getting sick and getting disability because of starlings has some of the same aspects as what I said to you before. But, do you read what I just quoted you on? do you see how you mention bird flu? do you see how you mention bat flu? Both of these mentions have nothing to do with human health in the United States. Bird flu or properly termed highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) was the subject of a massive surveillance program to monitor wild ducks/geese and other avian species in the U.S. and around the world. It never caused any human illness or death in the United States, therefore mentioning starlings migrating and saying people will get sick because of this is not accurate and it misleads people who read it who may take your word for it. The "bat flu" statements your making again don't come from this country and yet by you mentioning it online in this forum you allow people to find your statements and think bats may be carrying a flu that may harm humans, which is not accurate again. I don't take issue with anyone raising questions that is what a forum is for. You however are making statements and statements can be treated as fact and quoted. So please understand the difference, you won't catch me arguing with you about where to nail up a board on a house, or even how to trap wildlife, but when it comes to wildlife disease issues the media already goes to far in sensationalizing these issues. Do the bats and birds a favor and stick to what you can quote from good materials like extension publications, CDC website, OSHA and other authorities. Just sayin

The hole in the side of the building can be fixed by renting a lift. As for the place where the belt comes through the side of the building. A high volume air blower like those used to blow the water off your car at the car wash could be placed on the building. When the belt is turned off the blower comes on automaticaly. The birds will find it to difficul to enter and will soon find other places to go.
