removing birds
How can I convince birds to move on and NOT nest in my attic vents? Is there something I can spray that I might already have around the house without harming them?

We have a similar problem with our rain gutters. Birds would randomly start to nest and leave a mess everywhere. We eventually filled the spots with shoeboxes and they haven't gone back. Just fill the spot with some objects to keep them from resting on the area and it should do the trick.
Hope I could be of help!

It depends on the breed of birds really, but you do need to remove the nest when they aren't there if you are going to discourage them from coming back. Wear a mask when you do that, and obviously do it when they aren't around.
I've had good success just putting up some balloons where the nest was. They bob and shift in the wind and scare the birds off.
If that doesn't work, there are lots of products you can buy (not poisons) that leave a sticky residue that birds won’t walk on. Or there is always the good old fake owl.
Most birds can’t smell very well, so there isn’t some household spray that will work to keep them away, you really need to go with an object.
