Greenville, SC here. We have starling invasions every year.
My method will only help you if you are home most of the time.
Starling hate loud noises and they can learn. I step out of my door and clap my hands loudly. Sometimes I will use a metal can and a rock. They will fly of.
If I am persistent and do so several times after the swarm lands again they will eventually fly off and try somewhere else.
When I do this I make sure none of them stay behind in nearby trees. I make sure they all fly off every time. If you leave just one or two they will all be back in a moment.
Once the swarm learns that there is noise that swarm will stay away. Then you have peace and little birds until the next swarm arrives.
