I know someone who runs a resort who is having problems with seagulls.
Now, I am not sure if this is the appropriate list for this letter, but
here goes:

   How can one keep seagulls away from the resort property.  They are 
doing an excellent job of fouling up the swimming raft and the boats.
This doesn't sit too well with the owner.  There is a general solution
in this neck of the woods (northern Minnesota) to such a problem.  It
is demonstrated quite nicely by when I went to a local store and asked
for a live squirrel trap, the response was, "We don't have squirrel traps,
we will sell you some .22 shells".  So, how can I get rid of the gulls
effectively so as to avert them getting shot?

   Please send responses to me personally as I don't read the list very
much.

   thanks,
