The awning on our slide out has a metal cover over it and the birds keep building nests between the cover and the vinyl of the awning. They are getting in there when the slide out is closed and the trailer sits for a few days and my DH is just beside himself trying to figure out how to clean it out and how to prevent it from happening every time the trailer sits for a little while.

Tinfoil (shaped like a bow tie) on a string taped so it wiggles in the wind.
