Rat shot. Plastic snake which scares the crap out of me. Plastic owl. You have to move these around occasionally.

My barn roof is so high, cats are ineffective.....they'd have to have wings themselves to get at them!  I had a plastic owl with a solar powered rotating head that worked for a year.....now birds and owl are best friends.  What has worked for me this year is a "squawk box" I bought that emits predator bird calls at intervals.  It took it about 3 weeks to drive out all the birds, but it has worked fairly well.  My cars and trailers were absolutely COVERED in bird poo before I got the box.  And the twigs from their nests were getting piled high on the floor.  All of that has been almost eliminated.  It was kinda expensive, on sale for $100+.  They are annoying and the bird calls screech.  I turn the volume down when I go to the barn.

Fake owls have always done the trick for me.

We chased them out and shut up the barn for a few months other then when I was bringing horses in and out. then I bought netting to go over the door ways so I could have them open in the summer. That worked and was cheap.
