How do I get rid of crows?

These bastads have been roosting in my trees for almost a year and I'd it with it. They **** all over my driveway and they never ****. I was thinking of breaking out the shottie but that would attract police

Does anyone have this problem? These *******ers are like pests

Does the fake owl work? any other methods to get rid of them?

a fake owl may work but, crows are smart so they may see through it.

If you should find a dead one, hang it in the tree and that will keep them away. many years ago i told the landlord ( lived on a farm) I was going to shoot one, he said not to as he had shot one 5-6 years earlier and the others rembered him and would attack him when he went on to the farm.


good luck. I hate crows to.

A weekend afternoon, lawnchair, 12 pack, 12 gauge, box of shells. Problem solved.

If you dont want to attract police, a powerful pellet gun would be the way to go.

A well made scarecrow helps...fake owls work temporary at best... if you move em around but all birds figure it out They kept tearing up my garden crapping on the truck. Eventually...I killed as many (4) as it took for them to leave....use a pellet or bb gun. Leave em where they drop. They find someplace else or more die....
