Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Getting Rid of Birds
There are all kinds of homegrown remedies for getting rid of birds. You can sprinkle salt on their tails (tough one unless you're invisible). You can scare birds with loud noisemakers from your war chest of New Years Eve rattlers, kazoos, whistlers and blowouts (you'll look weird and the birds will come back as soon as you go into the house). You can blast them with a water hose (and hope you don't hit your sunbathing neighbor). You can shoot them with your trusty pellet gun (and endure the wrath of your spouse and kids). Ditto for poisons (you may even get a bird or two, but heaven help you if your cat or dog finds the poison). Some people have even tried to hang old CD on trees (works for a while, but birds are not as dumb as they look).
Lucky for you, the bird control pros at Bird B Gone have a number of highly effective and humane solutions for getting rid of birds.
The Sound Solution for Getting Rid of Birds
Bird B Gone's Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic broadcasts pre-recorded distress and predator calls that convince bird pests they're being hunted by falcons and hawks. These sounds resemble natural birdcalls so they won't bother your pets or neighbors. (Unlike ultrasonic devices, which emit high-frequency sounds birds cant hear, birds hear Bird Chase sounds and flee.) The built-in speaker covers up to an acre. And since its solar powered, you can place it wherever birds gather most often.
Getting Rid of Birds with Plastic Bird Spikes
These anti-perching, anti-roosting spiked strips are ideal for getting rid of birds on rooftops, patio covers and other elevated areas. They're blunted at the tips and approved for use as a bird deterrent by the US Humane Society and PICAS. Fabricated of rigid UV-resistant unbreakable polycarbonate, they're guaranteed for a full 5 years. Easily installed using screws, glue or tie downs, the spiked strips come in 3-, 5- and 7-inch widths and a variety of colors including brick red, white, crystal clear, light grey, brown, black and tan.
Getting Rid of Birds with Scarecrows
Its like you standing guard with a water hose 24/7 only better. Bird B Gone's Scarecrow combines the bird deterrent effect of a sudden water blast, alarming sprinkler sound, and realistic looking bird-like head to harmlessly scatter pest birds from your pool, spa, garden, or that pink elephant sculpture your mother in law gave you. Scarecrows connect right to your garden hose, yet they consume only 2 to 3 cups of water per spray. They cover about 1,200 square feet (35 feet out by 45 feet wide). Scarecrows deliver over 1,000 "firings" on a single 9-volt battery, and you can adjust their sensitivity and coverage distance.
