Birds Nesting In Roof AC Unit

Recommended Posts

Bob,

Welcome to the FMCA Forum.

What kind of birds-- must be quite small?

Not heard of the problem with birds-- mud dobbers yes.

You might look at putting hardware cloth just inside of the cover-- it has a more open mesh than screen, but should keep even small birds out.

Thanks for reply, not sure what kind of birds, but small for sure. I thought about screen or hardware cloth....just surprised the units would not have some protection from factory.

One of our early camping experiences was at Lake of Egypt in Marion, IL. It was our first time out for the season and my brother and family camped next door to us. It was also their first time out for the season. About 2 a.m., they knocked on our rig's door and said they had to go home, something was all over them. We later found that a bird had nested in the refrigerator vent and during the night, chicken mites from the birds came into the camper and found new hosts.

As a child, I worked around chickens, so I know how bad chicken mites can be. If you get one, you feel as if you have them all over you.

Lots of stories from 50+ years of camping.

Sam
