The next summer the swallows found our new neighborhood and it was blissful - they eat something approaching their weight in bugs in a day and I got hardly a bite. <br /><br />The third summer I was getting chewed up again. What the heck? In talking with the new neighbor across the street he told me that baby birds chirping in the eaves of his house were waking him up Saturday mornings... so he hosed down the nests.
