How to keep pigeons off your spa (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/37466/). It's work safe.
Here's the product he used (http://www.contech-inc.com/products/scarecrow/).

Do you think that would scare the big dog that keeps pooping on our front lawn. I'm guessing it's big from the size of the pie.

I fear to ask what you had in mind that you thought we needed assurance that this is work safe. I can't really think of anything that, seeing that link title, would make me think, "Hmm, should I click on that? It might not be work safe."
Well, I suppose if I thought long enough I could think of many things, but certainly my assumption would be "work safe" were unless otherwise disclaimed.
I like the system, thousands of practical uses. Arthritis making it harder to chase kids off your lawn? Grass won't stay still to be watered? Baby keeps escaping its crib?

HAHAHHAA!!! That has to be the best video I have seen in a while.
I love the bells and hash marks! :snap: Great item.

Pretty funny! I prefer the pigeon protection in my avatar, though.

Aww! Can I have one of those installed on the front of my car? Except instead of water, can it be a monster boxing glove on a spring ala' Looney Tunes? That will be way more effective then water when I'm losing my mind in freeway traffic. :p
I love our little pigeon friends (I'm a total animal nut!) :) However, pigeons can be incredibly nervy if they've been socialized enough with the public.
I once was having lunch with friends at the Saddle Back Ranch Chop House on the Sunset Strip. Since it was a gorgeous afternoon, we decided to dine on the patio. Near the end of our meal as we were waiting for dessert, a pigeon flew down and perched on the top of the only empty seat at our table. It looked as if there were four of us dining- 2 girls, a guy & a pigeon. We gently shoo'd him away, but he returned again & again. We had ordered a piece of chocolate cake for us all to sample, and as soon as it arrived, our pigeon friend returned. This time, however, he stood on our table. We tried to shoo him again, but he wouldn't move. Finally, he flew away, only to come right back and perch on the dessert plate where he immediately started diving his beak into our cake. Suffice it to say, lunch was over whether we were finished or not.
None us of ever did get to sample the cake that day. However, if our little friendly winged cake thief's greedy bites were any indication, it must have been tasty.

But I suppose I could, if I really wanted to, come up with some non-work-safe things that would keep the flying rats away from a spa.

This device is also recommended for use out in Newport Bay to keep the seals off the boats.

My work did not find this work safe.
I was not allowed to view.

Just think of the special surprise your arriving guests will experience at your next cocktail party! Hilarity will ensue!

I was not allowed to view.Actually, the advertisement that showed up next to the video when I opened it was pretty much not work safe. "I do it on the first date! Meet me at [some scuzzy dating site].com." And that wasn't some clever play on words where "it" meant "Pay for dinner" or something. It mean "it" and had a shot of a woman with her skirt flipped up.
Hmm, come to think of it, I don't seem to recall much about the video itself...

this calls up a whole other discussion. who would want to 'do' a girl who adverts such a thing in a banner ad anyway?
you'd have to wear the scarecrow in your shorts to keep her cooch vermin off ya
(ok, bad form, but I had to relate it back to the OP somehow ;) )
