Birds, moving, and allergies are conspiring against me

Birds:  They keep building underneath our deck (that's raised above our walkout basement).  It has been cleared away twice in 1 week, and built back every time.  If you recall I'm SUPER scared of birds, so I am too much of a weenie to get rid of them myself, so I'm not sure what to do this time.  I need to put something up there to deter them obviously, but I'm not sure what.  I'm also not sure who I'm going to beg to take it down this time. 

Moving:  Do I really need to say anything about this?  We are moving May 1 on our own, so I have 10 days to get everything ready.  I'll be doing it all on my own except for a couple of days that my mom will be helping and when Scott will be coming.  We have some hired help coming to do the heavy lifting, but the packing and cleaning part is all mine.  I just need to get started.  Once I get started I'm sure I'll be a force of nature, but I keep delaying.  Partially b/c we keep having people come look at the house. 

Allergies:  Poor C has been really affected this spring.  It's awful.  He has watery eyes, a runny nose, and is constantly sneezing.  I've been giving him Claritin w/minimal success.  He seems pretty miserable.  This adds to the difficulty of moving.
