Just noticed your post tis....the best way to string them is just drive 3 or 4 posts into the ground (or beach) and string them tightly so they don't droop.The tips of the flags should be carely touching the ground so they can't go under them.
Last two years it worked great......they got discouraged and stopped coming.
This year I'm trying the motion detector sprinkler......so far it's working.Also keeps my cats from thinking the beach is their private cat box.

That's what I did and for a few weeks this year, it worked. Then they got very persistent and if one drooped and I didn't notice or was high close to the post, they found it and got through. I was always adjusting them. It was almost a full time job with the length of the property. If it was just a 100' frontage lot, it would be a lot easier.

Anyway, I haven't had any for 10 days. Is it the swans or have they gone away for the season?
