Bird Crap

I have two ceiling fans on my rear porch. Every night a bird or birds are roosting on the fans, crapping on them and the porch floor. Would plastic owls help? I hear so many conflicting stories about plastic owls that I'm not sure what to believe.

I think that would throw off balance of blades. Leaving the fans on is the best option. Fans on lowest speed will be a negligible increase in power consumption. Once birds start to roost here they will continue for the duration.

I washed the porch last night to get rid of the poop and left the fans on low. It looks like it worked. I turned the fans off before I left for work. I have a suspicion that the bird is roosting there at night only. And I also think it is the same bird over and over, so maybe after a couple weeks, I can drop the program altogether.

We'll see.
