Episode 15: Seagull Control — Loafing vs. Nesting
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In Episode 15 of Rule the Roost, Tom and Victoria tackle one of the toughest bird problems out there:
Seagulls.
And there’s one big distinction that changes everything:
👉 Are they loafing — or are they nesting?
Because the solution is completely different.
In this episode, Tom breaks down:
• Why loafing grids can be 30' x 30'
• Why nesting grids must be 4' x 4' (and what happens if you don’t)
• Why fishing line is a disaster waiting to happen
• Why pole height, tension springs, and material matter
• What mistakes cause systems to collapse after one harsh winter
• Fire code and access issues most installers forget
• Why annual maintenance prevents federal permit nightmares
They also explain why blue Kevlar string works — invisible from below, highly visible from above — and how a properly installed grid can protect:
• Condo pools
• Self-storage roofs
• Jersey Shore homes
• Commercial rooftops
This isn’t a DIY hack.
It’s engineering, planning, and understanding bird behavior.
If you’re dealing with rooftop seagulls — or thinking about installing a grid — listen before you start drilling.
