Effective Pigeon Control for Gas Station Canopies

Effective Pigeon Control for Gas Station Canopies

Posted on May 12, 2014 by Alex Kecskes in Pigeon Control

Thousands of gas station canopies share the same costly problem--pest pigeons. These birds are often attracted to the lofty perches of canopies, ever on the lookout for food scraps in nearby dipsy dumpsters. The undersides of canopies also provide plenty of nooks and crannies where pigeons can safely build nests. Your average pigeon drops a load about 50 times a day. The scent of these droppings attracts other pigeons, and before you know it, you've got pigeons all over your canopy. Without effective pigeon control measures, pigeon droppings and nests will simply accumulate to clog rain gutters and eat into the paint and metal of canopy structures.

If your gas station is like most, you probably sell snacks. The sight and smell of pigeon droppings sliding down the sides of your canopy will make customers eager to leave and forget about snacks. There's also the slip-and-fall hazards pigeon droppings create for customers, which can expose you to legal liability.

The pigeon control experts at Bird-B-Gone have a number of effective and humane bird deterrents to keep your canopies pigeon free.

Spiders for Spot Pigeon Control

The Bird-B-Gone Bird Spider 360 features long tentacles that whip about in the slightest breeze to intimidate pigeons. Place a few Spiders on areas of your canopy where pigeons nest most often and they'll move on. Spiders can be mounted several different ways. Use the Sand Bag Base for the underside of your canopy, or the Railing Mount for easy attachment to support ribs. The Spider comes in four leg lengths to cover 2', 4', 6' and 8' diameter areas. Ruggedly designed for outdoor use, Spiders have 316 marine-grade stainless steel arms embedded into a UV- protected polycarbonate base. No assembly is required and they're virtually maintenance free.

Bird Spikes for Roofline Pigeon Control

Bird-B-Gone Stainless Steel Bird Spikes create a bird barrier that won't allow pigeons to land on or near them. Ideal for keeping pigeons off rooflines, beams, arches and other lofty areas of your canopy, these bird spikes feature a patented bend and crush design that securely locks each spike in a UV-protected polycarbonate base. The spiked strips come in 1-, 3-, 5- and 8-inch widths to provide increasingly wider areas of protection--up to 8 inches wide. Bird spikes are easily installed using screws, glue or tie downs. Pre-drilled holes make installation fast and simple. They're made in the USA and come with a 10-year guarantee.

Gutter Spikes for Rain Gutter Pigeon Control

Working on the same principle, Bird-B-Gone Stainless Steel Gutter Spikes will keep pigeons out of rain gutters. Installation is simple and straightforward. Each two-foot section of spiked strip has three thumb-screw adjustable C clamps to securely mount it to the lip of the gutter.
