I had a small problem with small birds coming in overnight and leaving a mess on my cover. No actual visible nests but small mess every morning.
Finally hung a three foot rubber snake with its head hanging down from the roof framework. It moves around with normal dock motion and looks realistic. Problem
solved. Still have occational ducks on the dock and will get another snake to lay on the dock.
Good luck, Greg
