They are inexpensive, easy to install, and come in a variety of styles. You would just hang the windsock or flag a few feet above the canopy, allowing it to flow in the wind to scare the birds away.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8796 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatcoversdirect.com\/boat-lovers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fishflags.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatcoversdirect.com\/boat-lovers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fishflags.png 640w, https:\/\/www.boatcoversdirect.com\/boat-lovers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/fishflags-282x300.png 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <h2>Hawks and Kites<\/h2><\/p>\n<p>Another easy solution would be to add a hawk prop or kite.

Ultrasonic systems are not harmful to birds but produce a high pitch static sound-emitting deterrent. These devices have not been proven effective with all species of birds because some of them cannot hear loud decibel frequencies.<\/p>\n<p>Or, you could use a bird repellent spray that can be purchased at most pest control stores. The spray is advertised to keep birds away and prevent them from gathering on your canopy or dock. The down-side to the spray is that you would need to continously reapply over time.<\/p>\n<p> <h2>Will bird droppings TRULY be a thing of the past with these tips?<\/h2><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed suggestion that would be 100% effective to keep birds off of your boat lift canopy or away from your boat dock. However, with some of the above mentioned tips, you may get some relief and keep that canvas looking new!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Boatcoversdirect.com<\/p>\n<p>1-866-626-8377<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":8559,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[93,667],"tags":[509,737,738],"class_list":["post-8558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-boatlovers","category-featured-posts","tag-boat-lift-covers","tag-canopy-covers","tag-keep-clean"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How do you keep birds off of your Canopy Lift!
