Starswirl was the first pony to get wise to their use of evil magic. He tried to come up with ways to defeat them (and in the comics tried to counter their music with his own music) and probably did so with the help of his friends. They might have sent them through a portal to another part of Equestria whenever The Sirens showed up to cause trouble. But then they may have gotten more powerful, and with Starswirl being a firm believer in banishing powerful enemies, he ultimately came to the conclusion that the only way to be rid of them was to send them to a world without magic. This is where EG Rainbow Rocks picks up the story.

But in EG it does not say anything about Starswirl having the help of his friends banishing The Sirens.
