The house has cedar siding. Is there any way to get rid of them without harming them? I don't want to hurt them, just make them stay away. Chet, via e-mail Dear Chet: There is a company in Grand Rapids called Tanglefoot, (616) 459-4139, www.tanglefoot.com. They have a product called Tanglefoot Bird Repellent. This might be just what you are looking for. The product adheres to all surfaces while still retaining its soft, sticky elasticity. It will not harm the birds, but they do not like stepping on it.
