I have a family of a-hole pigeons living in my eaves. I have, in no particular order, put a fake owl up, sprayed with vinegar with super soaker, shot them with pellets and even killed a couple with bare hands. I cannot get rid of them and I’m willing to risk doing anything short of blowing up my house to get rid of them.

Please advise if you have any special skills for hire or just advice.

Get a cat.

Also, feed sparingly until birds are gone.

What's stopping you from killing the rest, Rambo?

This didn't work? I've heard several people have success with a fake owl, but hell yeah I'd come shoot them with you.

What are the laws on killing them? Do you live in an area where someone will call the law?

There is some bird spray you can get. I think tractor supply has it. But get some fireworks. It will get rid of them temporarily, but you never know they might not come back? You have a dog? My two dogs chase the shite out of birds.

Serious answer. Put a thin layer of bearing grease on the surface they normally land on. You'll never see them anywhere near there again.

As soon as I get them out (dead or alive) I plan on screening up the areas of entry .

I live in a neighborhood in Laffy where the houses are pretty close together- but if gunshots can be masked by the sound of fireworks, tomorrow night might be the night!!! Who’s in?

It goes without saying but for downvote sakes - Fix your eaves.

So this may sound messed up, but why not patch up the eaves and let the cards fall where they may. They should roost during the night so do it during the day and block their entry.

If a couple get trapped up their during the day, go to town with pellet gun in attic. I assume your eaves are connected to main attic area. Or just let them starve up there and die on their own.
