You can buy ultrasonic cat scarers that are easier to throw than slabs. Colleagues report that they are very effective.
A couple of years back, a local cat took an entire brood of young swallows as soon as they hatched from a nest in an open garage in our street. It was heartbreaking to see and this year the swallows returned to the same nest. No way was I going to let the little ginger bar$tard do it again, so I bought one of these ultrasonic things. A bit awkward as it's not my garage but the owners were fine about it - even if they think I'm bonkers (it's not their cat either). Anyway, it has worked brilliantly so far- no sign of the murderous cat, and the swallows seem happy enough so far, with young safely hatched. Fingers crossed theyll fledge safely. Anyway, it's working v. well and I would definately recommend this device.
