I b dang... Simple but effective,, wonder if I painted my ceilings in the house gold,, my wife wouldnt want anymore jewelry??? lol

I remodeled a house near Wolfe City this spring, part of the job was to add a long porch (8' X 48') to the back of the house and a covered parking area (28' X 28'). The home owner requested that we paint the ceiling and underside of the eaves "sky blue" (we used Behr "Vaporize" color, Exterior Premium Plus Ultra, satin finish). He said it works to confuse birds and insects into thinking it is not covered and not a good place to build a nest. I went out to do the satisfaction visit last week and he said it works great. He has been using the technique for years and by my own eyes there were no wasps, barn swallows, spiders or other varmints under the areas we painted blue, not true in other places we did not paint.

I am thinking that next spring I will paint the ceilings and eaves of all my blinds and most of my sheds "sky blue". If it works it will be the greatest thing ever. If not I'll only be out a few bucks.
