Keep Birds Away From Rooftops

Birds prefer to sit at the highest point of a structure. Rooftops make the perfect lookout point, great for landing and perching. What is great for pest birds is not always good for homeowners or property managers. Pest birds leave messy and unsightly droppings all over the rooftop; they create noise and health and safety risks. The cost in repairs and cleanup can really add up if the issue goes unattended. 

How to Keep Birds Away From Roof

There are several bird deterrents to keep birds away from rooftops. The best time to get rid of pest birds is when the problem first begins before they cause damage and begin nesting.

Addressing the problem in the early stages will make the overall process much easier. The longer birds remain in the area the more attached they become. This is especially true when birds begin to nest.

The first step is to thoroughly clean the rooftop of any bird droppings and nesting debris. Pigeons and other pest birds are highly attracted to the pheromones found in their droppings and remains. Skipping this step can make or break your efforts to keep birds off your rooftop.

Roof Top Bird Deterrents

1) Roof Spikes for Pigeons, Gulls, Crows & More!

One solution to keep birds off your rooftop is to put roof spikes along the peak of your roof and the ledges. Bird spikes are a physical bird deterrent that keeps birds from landing because of the uneven surface created by the spikes. Bird spikes are safe and humane; they will not harm birds. The spikes come in different widths to ensure they cover the width of your roof ledges.

Bird spikes are also available in stainless steel or plastic. They are very easy to install with either adhesive or screws and come with industry-leading guarantees. Spikes work on larger birds like pigeons and seagulls.

2) Bird Spider 360 Bird Deterrent

For birds perching on the slope of a roof or on flat portions where it may not be feasible to install multiple rows of bird spikes, the Bird Spider 360 is a great solution. The Bird Spider 360 is designed to spin in the wind while its stainless steel arms bounce around. This commotion causes a confusing visual distraction that scares birds away from the area. The Bird Spider 360 works on larger birds like pigeons, seagulls and crows. It comes in multiple sizes (2, 4, 6 and 8) to cover different diameters. The Bird Spider 360 is easy to install with screws or adhesive and has several additional mounting options.
