Crows are the most typical “opportunists” in urban and rural systems. They are very smart and can adapt to various environments.
They are gregarious birds with excellent memories. Their black plumage makes them easily distinguishable. They can quickly find a suitable roosting spot and can damage your property.
Below, I will provide you with some tips for more effective crow control. Some are suitable for farms and gardens, while others are all around bird control solutions for commercial buildings and properties.
What problems do crows cause?
First, understanding the problems posed by crows will allow you to better choose the right products to keep them away.
Crows are omnivorous animals, and places such as garbage stations, open-air dining, pet food, and mature orchards can become their food sources.
On garbage day, they wait for people to bring their trash to the curb, then begin rummaging through food, shredding trash bags, and scattering their garbage everywhere.
They will invade your farm or orchard and eat the fruits, vegetables, and crops you have worked hard to grow. A flock of crows can easily destroy a field.
The biggest problem with crows is that they are significantly more intelligent than other birds. Let me tell you a little story from China. A thirsty crow, in flight, came across a clear glass bottle secured by an iron ring near a farm. The bottle had some water at the bottom. It dropped a stone into the bottle, causing the water level to rise, allowing it to drink.
They also have excellent memories, easily remembering which areas are friendly to them and settling in those areas. They can quickly adapt to deterrents and can remember human faces, making it difficult to drive them away.
How to keep crows away from your house?
Here are some practical tips to effectively keep crows away:
Use scare bait
You can use predator models to scare them away, such as a model owl or hawk, or you can use dead crow decoys hung upside down around your house to deter them.
Garbage removal
Replace exposed garbage with sealed bins to clean up your food scraps. After harvesting in the orchard, quickly clean up the garbage and fruit residues to block the crows’ food source.
Use reflective equipment
Crows hate shiny things, so using reflective tape or reflective bird repellers is a good option. Place them around your house, in trees, or on the eaves of your house. These shiny devices will effectively repel crows.
Use sound or sonic waves to repel
Crows react to the calls of their predators (falcons, goshawks) or the distress sounds of their own kind, which can serve as danger signals. Using a loudspeaker to play music in areas where crows gather can effectively repel them. Note: Change the type of animal sounds weekly to prevent habituation.
Removed areas where nests can be built
Clearing these nesting areas can effectively repel crows. Crows like to nest in green trees, so you can remove them by hanging some luminous tape on the trees, or by destroying the nests before they are even built.
Use bird nets
If you are an orchard owner who likes to grow fruits and vegetables, then using bird netting is a very good choice. This will prevent crows from entering your farm or orchard.
Additionally, crows realize that becoming entangled in a net can result in injury or even death, so they will not attack the net.
Commercial construction project solutions
Commercial projects require a more rigorous and effective bird control solution to keep crows away. Bird spikes and bird wire are effective solutions for crow control. Modern designs not only blend seamlessly into shopping malls and projects, but also effectively deter crows from landing, effectively blocking their landing areas.

How to permanently banish crows？
If you are a homeowner, you can use reflective tape, owl decoys, or frightening balloons to keep crows away. It’s important to deploy these devices over a large area and in areas with high crow activity to effectively deter them.
If crows like to roost on fences or rooftops, bird spikes are a good option. If they congregate in barns, shipping facilities, airports, or building trusses, commercial bird netting can effectively deter them from entering these areas.
