Bird Nests

Kathy writes~ I have a bird's nest in my soffit. Yesterday the roofers removed it and closed it. They still are trying to get there...must be the scent. What can I do to get them to move on?

A. From what I can tell, a soffit is under the eave or a gutter. You need to apply a repellent to the birds, a foul odor. One that is popular is Bye Bye Birdie. Here are some websites to research the products and you can go to your local nursery, garden center and even a pet supply shop and buy a spray can and apply according to the label's directions.
