Put the bubble wrap in the pin box and tell them there are snakes and spiders in there too. Should keep the "human pests" away.

Nice looking but the $200+ shipping price is a bit ... daunting

Just curious what others do to keep bird nest, etc. out of the pin box in the off season. What are others doing to keep critters from building a nest in the pin box when stored?

Appreciate your thoughts and ideas.
We use foam to keep the birds out

I gave the beach ball suggestion a try for this spring and will see how it goes. So far, it seems like an easy, great option...easy in and fills the opening.

Thanks for the advice. Just wanted to update and say that the partially inflated beach ball worked great. Will continue to use from now on...
