Starling Guard Door Plugs

Product Description

Door Plugs keep squatters from inhabiting your Purple Martin homes. These squatters are sparrows, who are not good tenants. Keep the plugs in until your Purple Martins return in the spring. This reduces your clean-up time and makes welcoming your Purple Martins in the Spring a real homecoming and not a chore.

Purple Martins return year after year to summer with you and eat those pesky insects. Landlords provide neat housing, maintenance during the summer months, and even some bird-friendly accessories like predator guards and porch dividers. These are all great summer-time accessories; however, when winter months come, and your Purple Martins migrate home, the landlord's job isn't done for the season until you've installed Starling Guard Door Guards.
