Bird Pest Control: Are You Making These Mistakes?
Many property owners who suffer from pest birds have the wrong idea about bird pest control. They think that to control birds, you need to kill them or drive them away with loud noises. Their mistakes might even include things you've tried. Here are some examples:
- Procrastination. You waited too long to address the problem. Flocks of birds have built their nests and have settled all around your property. The birds have already begun to damage roofing tiles and covered everything with disease-carrying droppings. These droppings now block your skylights, solar panels, security cameras, rooftop AC units and ventilators the list goes on and on.
- Sanitation. Birds have flocked to your property because there's an abundance of food to be scavenged from overflowing trashcans, lunch break tables/benches and open dipsy-dumpsters.
- Extermination. You've decided the only way to get rid of birds is through lethal means. So you tried poisons and pellet guns, but this method of bird pest control has proven not only ineffective but illegal, since many species of birds are protected by local, state and federal laws.
- Desperation. When all else fails, your frustration has led you to try noisemakers and water hoses. Again, these bird pest control efforts have failed because the little critters just keep coming back.
The solution? Here's what the bird control pros at Bird B Gone recommend:
1. Plastic Bird Spikes
Made of unbreakable UV-protected polycarbonate, Bird B Gone plastic bird spikes are an effective and human bird pest control solution. The spiked strips come in two-foot sections and 3-, 5- and 7-inch widths to provide ever-widening areas of bird deterrence. The base of each spiked strip is just 1.5 inches wide, so its easily glued, nailed or tied down to any surface.
2. Scare Birds with Sonics
Bird-B-Gone's Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic broadcasts pre-recorded distress and predator calls that intimidate bird pests. The device creates sounds for 22 different species of birds. The threatening calls are broadcast for two minutes and repeated every 10 minutes. The Bird Chase device is unlike ultrasonic bird scare devices, which emit sounds birds cant hear. And since its solar powered, it can easily be placed wherever pest birds gather.
