Shouldn’t be a problem as from this Autumn because nobody will grow Rape due to CSFB.
And those that are brave enough to try, will get their crops inundated with pigeons as well as the CSFB.

Can’t wait not to have to worry any more about Rape, CSFB or the bangers!
I didn’t miss looking after OSR last winter, and won’t again this year. Flying rats are getting pretty well stuck in on the peas now though.
 
Going on some of the comments on here a lot of the modern generation of so called farmers seem to get their jollies off if they can make somebodies life a misery. What happened to respect and consideration particularly with this covid sh!t going on.

Not at all.
My bangers are all currently set so they start between 07:15 or 08:00 depending on how a near to a house they are. They shut down from 19:30-20:45 again related to position. Most are set to go off with 2 sets of 3 bangs every hour for most of the day and 3 sets of 3 bangs in an hour at times of peak pigeon activity.
The reason they bang 3 times is so I know that if I hear a banger go 3 times outside those times I need to go and check them as it’s likely to be one of mine, which I have been known to get back out of bed to do at midnight much to my wife’s annoyance, as occasionally they do go wrong or throw a wobbly.
They are never (deliberately) get set to start before 07:00 or after 21:00 and not at all after dark. Most of the time they are set not to go off on a Sunday, although I admit that they currently are as they peas are struggling with the dry weather and need all the help they can get. Bangers that I can, I set to start an hour later and finish an hour earlier at weekends. I also try and use kites if possible.

From your posts you sound like you could help yourself with your situation, but have chosen not to. I can’t really work out what you expect us to say. You had some helpful suggestions earlier on you but you seem to have chosen not to follow it. Moaning on here will not change your situation and your posts have lost any sympathy we initially had for you.
