Effective Bird Control for Your Boat Rental Business

Effective Bird Control for Your Boat Rental Business

Posted on May 8, 2014 by Alex Kecskes in Bird Control

If you operate or manage a boat rental business, one costly problem you face every day is pest birds. They not only annoy your customers but create a daily mess of bird droppings. Without effective bird control measures, droppings from gulls, herons and cormorants will accumulate and eat into sails, riggings, sail covers, radar towers and mast gear. Bird droppings can also damage your light fixtures, railings, walkways and steps, creating dangerous slip-and-fall hazards for your customers.The solution is to deploy effective and humane bird deterrents. Here's what the bird control experts at Bird-B-Gone recommend:

Bird Spider 360TM Multi-Tentacle Bird Control

Uniquely designed to intimidate birds and prevent them from landing, the Bird-B-Gone Bird Spider 360 features breeze-powered tentacles that whip bird pests off lightposts, signs, boats and rooftops. Ruggedly designed for marine use, its 316 marine grade stainless steel arms pin into a UV- protected polycarbonate base. (The new tips prevent scuffing on surfaces.) The Bird Spider 360 comes in four leg lengths that cover 2', 4', 6' and 8' diameters. Various mounting base configurations allow the Spider to be easily placed wherever birds gather most often. For example, an optional rotating base lets the spider spin in the wind, ideal for keeping birds off most structures. A sand bag base lets you place the Spider on uneven surfaces. Spiders can be placed on sails, canvas covers, antenna systems, Biminis and railings. No assembly is required. Once set up, the Spider is virtually invisible and maintenance free.

The Repeller 360--Rotating Bird Control

Recommended for preventing larger birds like gulls, herons, cormorants and raptors from perching and roosting on rooftops and other flat areas, the Repeller 360 is a wind-sail-powered rotating bird control device. It features large, reflective predator eyes at the end of each sail that intimidate and frighten pest birds. Like the Spider 360, the Repeller 360 is easy to set up and virtually maintenance free. It rotates continuously, covering a 6-foot diameter to deter even the most stubborn winged pests from landing.

Stainless Steel Bird Spikes--Anti-Perching Bird Control

Bird-B-Gone Stainless Steel Bird Control Spikes provide proven anti-perching, anti-roosting protection for rooflines, parapet walls, signage and other lofty areas of your seaside business.
