Swallowing our Pride

So the swallows just don't want to give up on us.  I've googled and read and tried a number of things.  After my first attempt, they just moved a few inches past my deterrent and built again. So today I went with our personal equivalent of a tin foil hat and saran wrapped the porch using painting tape.  Hopefully, our new neighbors won't think we're too crazy.  They do want the birds gone; I'm just not sure they want to be associated with this look.
