Dear members hope you are all well and safe. I have been inform by dear friends that I have an owl issue ( pooing everywhere) . Recommended to have solar lights. Can anyone recommend whether to purchase the ones which are attached on the wall or into ground and the solar flashes onto wall's of house ?

Are you sure the poo source isn’t pigeon or bat?

So is bird poo, come to that! ;)

There was an island somewhere that was covered in bird poo and they made a fortune shovelling it onto ships and selling it!

Owls don't poo... they regurgitate pellets containing the indigestible bits of their prey directly below their roosting perch and not all over the place, containing bits of rats, mice, cockroaches and all other forms of vermin. It does not resemble poo... They also discourage pigeons...

You don't have an owl problem - they are your friend, keeping you free of pests!

Oh, and they don't give a care about lights, so save your money.

Sounds more like hedgehogs...

There are shiny tapes at Mr Pound, hang them around and will scare the birds (tested and verified)
