How to keep birds off buildings this summer
Besides the ubiquitous pigeon, red-winged blackbirds, grackles, starlings, and brown-headed cowbirds often establish large summer roosts in and around buildings and structures. These birds will deface and damage the various areas of a home or building where they nest. And like all birds, they will leave droppings virtually everywhere. Bird droppings that eat into metal, plastic, wood, even stonework, droppings that can carry any of 60 known diseases like salmonella.
Many birds are protected by federal and state laws, so they can’t be killed or their nests and eggs destroyed. The best way to keep these nuisance birds from your property is through effective and humane bird control measures. The pros at Bird B Gone have a number or bird deterrents that property owners can use to prevent summer birds from roosting and nesting on and around their property.

Bird Jolt Flat Track
Highly effective and humane, Bird B Gone's Bird Jolt Flat Track harmlessly “educates” birds to stay away, imparting a slight electric shock the minute they land. Simple to install and set up, the track features a flexible UV-protected PVC base that bends a full 360° without compromising its integrity. The track can easily follow the rounded surfaces of signage letters and the curved architectural features of a canopy or arch. The track is totally waterproof and features tight connections to ensure both safety and installation ease. Installed, the low-profile track is almost invisible, since it measures just 1/4" at its highest point. Available in six colors, the track blends in easily with its surroundings. Bird Jolt Flat Track is the only electric track bird deterrent system with patented anti-arcing design to guard against track short outs. It’s also the only system with patented glue troughs along the base to insulate the track’s conductors. It comes in 100 ft. rolls, and can be glued down to virtually any surface. The entire system is powered by either an AC charger or solar charger.
