Title: Super poo
Post by: dai on February 16, 2009, 08:15:45 pm: I don't know if it's only in my area, but some bird poo this last couple of weeks is the hardest to shift that I have ever experienced.
I had to get the ladders off last week and again today, no amount of soaking and leaving helped.
With one lot today I had to go up the ladder, and then come down again to put a new blade in my scraper, and that was after soaking, I have found cement easier to get off, what the hell are these birds eating, super glue?

I do a job in town and the birds eat all the food that people chuck away on a saturday night and that s**t really is like cement!

I have a spare pole with a gardiners ali goosneck on and then just put a scraper on that.If you can see the crap from the ground just use a pole and scraper,of course if you cant see it from the ground...well you would not have done it anyway... ;D

Any way if birds didnt do it on windows would proberbly loose work its all good for business. :)

I have a plastic ice scraper that fits on a pole, but that wouldn't touch it. Where do you get a propper bladed scraper that fits on an unger pole?

I live right on the coast, Seagulls everywhere, I swear the bird that left this "Concrete" must be as big as albatross!
60lts and a lot of scrubbing later it was gone my arms were killing me!

It was supposed to be a quick job before breakfast... :'( :'( :'(
