I've got problems with birds sitting on some wiring in the rafters on my porch. Is there anything I could smear on the wires to deter them?

Methyl anthranilate in any form.
Harmless and smells nice.

The best long term fix is installing Stealth bird netting on the entire underside. The white or transluescent 3/4" would look nice if done with care.

How is that a problem? They'll just find another perch.

It's a problem because there is a table underneath and I'm tired of cleaning it. I dont care if they find someplace else to perch. If the next area becomes a problem, I'll do the same.

Do what Bob said, and make sure you do the exterior overhang so they don't end up on top of the net.

Hang a drop ceiling above where you don't want them pooping. Doesn't need to be anything fancy or expensive.
