Bird electrocution

[496 BB]

Tell me if you think this will work. I have these annoying ass birds that sit on my downspout at my rear bedroom window (I have a ranch house) and they build nests in the damn gutter. I have nice gutter guards and they still get in. Ive tried sealing it off but they just peck thru and continue their business. So now its game on.

I like funny shit and hate birds so I thought of this. What if I used a flourescent light ballast (Or HID 55W...lol) and layed a piece of rubber on the 2' of downspout (have a 2' soffit) where it returns to the house (where they sit and shit everywhere). After that I lay in a piece of metal or aluminum foil tape with the wires attached from the ballast already. Then I can just plug it in and LMAO. OR I was thinking I may just light up the whole damn gutter. Im sure it wont be the whole span due to power loss but it would do where they are in the end. Only thing is Im pretty sure it wont cause any fires or anything but just wanted to see what yall thought.

Either way these bastards are going down. Already got one in the head with BB gun but dont want to shoot neighbors house and the Mossberg will tear up the whole damn gutter

Other idea was making a huge bug zapper with lots of bird seed :thumb:

Maybe an electric fence box hooked up to it somehow would work?

Pour some REALLY HOT hot sauce in the area. Watch what happens. I'm curious.

haha i like the ballast idea.sounds like something i would do.

I got a better idea.... Make them a nice pearch to sit on.... but make it out of two metal rods, run parallel to each other... skip the ballast, wire 110ac to it (neutral to one bar and hot to the other). Make sure they're isolated from each other so you don't have a dead short and are isolated from everything else. When the birds land, plug it in and *poof* (well, in theory.... Might have crispy birds though...)... :rofl:

Alka seltzer works great for killing seagulls. Maybe it works on little birds too


Not quite as fun as electrocution though. You could do what fast food jonts do and just put spikes everywhere...

 

[BLKLMM]

X2 on spike strips !

 

[496 BB]

Screw spikes. I wanna see these bitches blow up

If the birds dont touch a ground and the hot at the same time, nothing will happen.

 

[Vrabel]

2 thin wires along gutter, one +, one -. when they touch both, sizzle

 

[TIM Z]

This is to close to home for me not to watch. let me know when the cookout is going to happen !

 

[WolfLMM]

Plz, get a video!!!!!!

 

[minisub]

Hang the wing of a dead bird from a small mast on the gutter. Problem solved. (That is if they act anything like seagulls)

 

[Cougar281]

Hence the two parallel rods in my idea

 

[MadMaxx61]

Here is how we deal thing things like that.

take apart a electric fly swatter in side you will find small capacitor.

Add additional high voltage capacitor parallel with the last big one from where connecting wire will go to the grids.

Or swapping it out a for a huge one and powering it for something better then 2 AA bats you can make a killer trap. My friend and I made one that was able to kill this skunk we were never able to trap.

 

[MMLMM]

Sticky trap, relocate to forest (hippy) or the trash can.

I have a a piece of say 3"x18" 1/8" steel and connect the wires from the ballast to that on each end am I going to blow the ballast from the continuous current flowing to each polarity? Also if I do a ballast on each side will this be too much? I just had a brain fart.

I may just get that sticky stuff and when caught lay em down on concrete and water torture them bastards for all others to see not to build nest in my gutters or sit on my powerlines and SHIT in/on my truck. OR maybe Ill just hook up an extension cord with aligator clips on the end to their nerpples :spit:

Cattle Prod. Take off the top and run 2 wires to 2 pieces of expanded metal with some bird seed . That way you get to push the button-feel a sense of accomplishment. had to do this to a cat at my fathers house and then some skunks, didn't kill them but it sure was funny to watch.:happy2:

do you need a hug?

I had this problem several years ago, the way I delt with it was to move the dog food away from where I dont want the birds, so if you dont have dogs, just sit out a nice dish of dogfood away from your gutters and maybe mix in a little rice as an added treat :angel:
