Last spring we removed the nest at least four times. This year after the first time; I got smart. I blew up a beach ball and crammed it into that space.

Either the swallows have moved on or they know something about the weather that we don't!)I have gotten "bombed" by upset males (as they are the ones who start the nest to entice the female) but I have no mercy!!

There are plenty of other surfaces they can build on besides my house!!Starlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075522354027547485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432615092204334311.post-14628880111210460982013-04-24T11:58:35.945-04:002013-04-24T11:58:35.945-04:00LOL.

We have them a plenty here and I don't card for them as they are messy - i.e. poo all over the driveway etc. Sure they will find another place to nest.
