Crows are extremely intelligent and resourceful birds, however, for many people they are quite annoying. As very clever birds, crows can quickly learn new skills such as opening bags for food and making tools with branches and leaves. They are also flocks of birds, often roaming around and entering homes foraging. So if you see a crow, chances are there are others nearby. The intelligence of crows makes repelling them a challenging task, requiring you to use a variety of methods and not allow your yard to become an attraction for crows. [1] X Research Source

Create an unattractive environment

Cover the trash can so that the crows can’t get in. Crows can easily tear trash bags and rummage through. Remember not to overfill the trash can, because crows can find a way to get into the trash even if only a small part of the trash bag sticks out. You should look for a trash can with a lid that can be locked. Once the crows have found a food source, they will return every day to rummage, so it’s important to keep the bins covered.

- Close and secure the lids of all trash cans.
- Secure the trash can’s handle to a stake in the ground to prevent it from tipping over.

Cover and compost in an airtight container. Crows are omnivores and will eat any food they come across, so it’s important that all leftovers are covered. Composting is a great way to deal with leftovers. However, the exposed compost pile would be an attractive offer to the crows. To keep the compost from attracting crows, you need to cover or compost it in a bin. You can make compost out of garden straw without fear of attracting crows.

Garden protection. Although crows can help the garden because they eat insects and vermin, they also sometimes destroy fruit trees. Buy soft bird netting at a gardening center or a garden planter. The 10cm wide mesh will help keep crows out, but smaller birds can still get in to catch insects. Before the fruit starts to ripen, you can put a net over the tree or cover the protective frame set up around the garden. Make sure the net is strong to prevent crows. You can also put a net over fruit trees and bushes. [4] X Research Sources

Use a large anti-bird feeder. You should buy a bird feeder that automatically closes when large birds come to eat. You can also try using a feeder with an iron mesh to prevent crows but small birds will still be able to eat. Remember to clean up the food every day so that the crows don’t come rummaging around the feeder.

Place the bird’s nest against the crow. Sometimes crows eat the newly hatched birds of smaller birds. If the crows find a nest that they can enter to catch the chicks, they will return each year to do this. [5] X Research Sources
- Make sure all nests have a bottom more than 15 cm from the entrance to the nest.
- Remove perching branches or ledges under the nest entrance so the crows have no place to perch and watch the chicks poke their heads out of the nest.
Clearing the crow’s nesting area

Prune dead branches. Crows often gather in flocks and find large spaces to live in. Removing dead branches will prevent crows from congregating on bare branches.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/0f/Get-Rid-of-Crows-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Get-Rid- of-Crows-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/0f/Get-Rid-of-Crows-Step-7- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Crows-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Install anti-bird spikes on the roof or fence. Anti-bird spikes come in strips or beams, which can be easily installed for a long time to keep birds away. The birds will have nowhere to sit because they can’t find a place to live.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3c/Get-Rid-of-Crows-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Get-Rid- of-Crows-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3c/Get-Rid-of-Crows-Step-8- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Get-Rid-of-Crows-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use clear anti-bird gel on tree branches and crow-perching areas. You can buy bird repellent gel at home improvement stores or online. Anti-bird gel is a non-toxic adhesive that will not damage windows or trees like anti-bird spikes. This gel makes surfaces uncomfortable for crows and prevents them from nesting.

Reduce outdoor light. Crows often congregate in well-lit places at night. Reducing the light will make your place less attractive to crows. [7] X Research Sources

Deal early as soon as the crows appear in early winter. Crows are migratory birds and usually choose their shelter in early winter. Break this habit by dealing with crows as soon as they appear so they don’t invade your yard all winter. [8] X Trusted Source Penn State Extension Go to Source

Chase the crows just before sunset. You should chase crows at night so they don’t stay in your yard all night. Crows will find a safe place to spend the night, and if you drive the crows away before dark, they will find another place. [9] X Research Source

Use fake animals to chase crows. Buy a fake crow at a Halloween store and hang the crow upside down so it spreads its wings. The crows will stay away from the fake crow that looks dead. You can use horned owls or fake snakes, but these fake animals only scare crows for a short time. The crows will even get to know these animals and eventually realize that they are not real.

Shine the laser at the crow. The laser will scatter the crows at first, but they can return shortly. [11] X Research source . It is thought that after a period of harassment, the crows will gradually avoid the area altogether.

Keep crows away by hanging light-reflecting objects around the house. [12] X Trusted Source The Humane Society of the United States Go to the source Crows are often afraid of moving bright objects. You can find anti-bird bands designed to visually scare crows. Hang glittery ribbons on poles throughout the yard, or make a fence around the yard by twisting the ribbons together and hanging between poles along the perimeter of the yard. Move the position of the bands from time to time to prevent the crows from getting greasy. You can try using other reflectors like:
- Sparkling ribbons
- Old CDs hanging on a string
- Aluminum cake mold. Anything bright hanging in the yard can help keep crows away.

Use loud noises to scare crows. Crows don’t like sounds like explosions, loud bangs, and alarms. While effective, this approach may not be suitable for use in urban conditions. Every time you see crows, make a noise to train them to stay away. Playing a tape recorder of a crow-hunting animal or a crow’s cry for help can also keep them away. You can find crow-repelling sounds online from bird control companies. Try the following noise sources: [13] X Trusted Source The Humane Society of the United States Go to source
- Cannons
- A recording of a crow’s cry for help
- Audio recordings of animals that chase crows such as owls or hawks
- Air whistle
Advice
- Make your yard unattractive to crows before they arrive so you don’t get in trouble with them.
- Use many methods to chase crows
- Change the order of the methods of getting rid of crows so that they don’t realize that the things are just a bogus threat.
- Ask the wildlife center for more information on the number of crows in the area.
- If there’s an area where you don’t mind crows roosting, leave tall trees with dead branches intact to allow them to perch. That way, crows won’t enter the places you want to protect.
Warning
- Most fake animals will only work for a short time. Once they found out that the animals weren’t real, the crows wouldn’t be afraid of them anymore.
- Most places in the US do not allow shooting crows. If you plan to shoot crows, you should check with the local authorities to make sure you don’t get in trouble.
- There are many products that are advertised as having the effect of repelling crows with ultrasonic waves. However, birds are not sensitive to ultrasonic waves, so this method will not be effective at repelling crows. [14] X Trusted Source The Humane Society of the United States Go to Source
