Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Wildlife Management Purple Martins

Mine has been up 3 years and still no martins. I've had them land on top, but not stay. I don't know why. It is currently down, and it's due for it's annual bath this week. I looked at where the house is supposed to be at (distance from other buildings, trees and water) and kept other birds away, so I don't know why they didn't like it. Years ago Martins used the house, so maybe it's because it's not new? In any case, I'll try again this year.
