Hello,
I’m new member AnnieB. I’d like to ask if anyone has tried using a few fishing lines overlying the bluebird nesting box hole. I was told that bluebirds don’t mind that, but HOSP won’t enter. If true, wouldn’t that be great!
Thanks!
Ann in LouisianaHi, Ann. Welcome!
Fishing line around the hole and on top of the box does help deter HOSP. I tried it and my HOSP got used to it but it has worked for others. I’ll give you a link on the best way to do that.
But the best way to deal with HOSP is to trap them. They are relentless so it’s best to eliminate them.
This group is pretty slow right now.
I’ll find that link for you.Tammy
