Bird Control Experts Share Top 5 Secrets in How to Keep Birds Away

If you own commercial or industrial property, chances are you've seen the destructive side of pest birds. These winged invaders can deface and damage your facilities, covering buildings and signage with droppings, obscuring skylights, reducing the efficiency of solar panels, and seizing up windows, doors, security cameras, rooftop ventilators, and AC units. Cleanup and repair expenses add up quickly, and maintenance teams usually offer the same advice: find a way to keep birds away. Water hoses and noisemakers rarely work for long, but professional solutions offer long-term relief.

The bird control experts at Bird B Gone share five effective, humane methods to keep birds away from commercial properties:

1. Visual Bird Deterrents

Visual bird deterrents exploit a bird's natural fear of predators. Flash Tape crackles in the wind and reflects sunlight to startle birds. The tear-drop-shaped Scare Eye Diverter is an iridescent foil banner emblazoned with a giant predator eye, while Bird Scare Balloons feature similar threatening eye patterns on durable inflatable spheres. Hanging these around problem areas and shifting their locations periodically ensures birds do not become habituated.

2. Sonic Bird Deterrents

Audible sound bird deterrents like the Bird Chase Super Sonic broadcast authentic, pre-recorded distress and predator calls for 22 different bird species. Because the sounds mimic natural bird calls, they are non-disruptive to humans while convincing birds that predators are actively hunting in the area. Unlike ineffective ultrasonic units that emit frequencies birds cannot hear, sonic units deliver clear audio across large spaces. Powered by standard 110V AC with a 50 ft power cord, the system covers up to 1 acre and can expand to cover up to 5 acres with additional speakers.

3. Stainless Steel Bird Spikes

Serving as a permanent physical barrier, stainless steel bird spikes prevent medium to large birds from perching or roosting without causing harm to birds or maintenance workers. Constructed with marine-grade stainless steel pins set into a UV-protected polycarbonate base, these high-grade spikes withstand heavy weather without rusting. The flexible base contours to curved surfaces and mounts easily using glue, screws, or zip ties.

4. Electric Track Systems

Electrified track systems condition birds to stay away by delivering a mild, harmless electric shock to their feet upon landing. Bird B Gone's Bird Jolt Flat Track stands just 1/4 inch high, making it virtually invisible from ground level. The UV-stabilized flexible PVC base bends a full 360 degrees to follow complex architectural contours. It features a patented anti-arcing design to prevent short circuits, along with glue troughs that protect the underlying conductors for reliable long-term performance.

5. Transparent Bird Gel

Transparent Bird Gel relies on a tacky, tactile feel that birds dislike underfoot. The non-toxic, sticky sensation conditions pest birds to avoid roosting on treated surfaces without trapping or harming them. Applied easily in a zig-zag pattern using a standard caulking gun, one application remains effective for up to six months on ledges, beams, structural pipes, and architectural sills.
