Creating an Effective Bird Barrier for Your Food Warehouse

Creating an Effective Bird Barrier for Your Food Warehouse

Posted on May 18, 2014 by Alex Kecskes in Bird Control

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. The accumulation of droppings and nesting debris creates severe operational hurdles, similar to sanitation risks found in large covered structures like warehouses and airplane hangars.

One bird barrier that has proven to keep pest birds out of warehouses is bird netting. Here are some smart choices recommended by the bird control experts at Bird-B-Gone.

Implementing proven anti-bird netting solutions ensures that loading bays and food storage zones remain compliant and sanitary.
