Creating an Effective Bird Barrier for Your Food Warehouse
Drawn by the scent of food and the abundance of lofty nesting sites, pest birds often enter food warehouses. Birds will loiter in the upper corners and beams, waiting for closing time to look for food. In so doing, they'll peck open cartons and bags of packaged food. Fail to repel bird pests with an effective bird barrier and you can expect inventory shrinkage, food packages contaminated with disease-carrying droppings, and citations for health code violations.
One bird barrier that has proven to keep pest birds out of warehouses is bird netting. Here are some smart, bird barrier choices recommended by the bird control experts at Bird-B-Gone.
