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 unless you're invisible). You can scare birds with loud noisemakers from your party stash (you'll look odd, and the birds will return as soon as you go inside). You can blast them with a garden hose (hoping you don't soak your neighbor). You can shoot them with a pellet gun or lay out poisons—both are inhumane, illegal for many protected species, and extremely dangerous to pets. Some property owners even hang old CDs from trees, which works briefly until birds realize they pose no real threat.

Fortunately, the bird control experts at Bird B Gone offer proven, professional-grade, and humane solutions for getting rid of birds once and for all.

Effective Bird Deterrent Solutions

1. Sonic Audio Deterrents

Bird B Gone's Bird Chase Super Sonic broadcasts authentic, pre-recorded distress and predator calls that convince pest birds they are being hunted by natural predators like hawks and falcons. These calls sound like natural bird vocalizations, making them non-disruptive to neighbors. Unlike useless ultrasonic devices that emit high-frequency noises birds cannot hear, sonic units produce audio within the audible range of birds to trigger their natural escape response. Powered by standard 110V AC with a 50-foot cord, the system includes a built-in light sensor for day, night, or 24-hour operation, covering up to 1 acre (expandable to 5 acres with optional satellite speakers).

2. Polycarbonate Plastic Bird Spikes

Anti-perching and anti-roosting spiked strips are an ideal physical barrier for getting rid of birds on rooftops, ledges, patio covers, and parapet walls. Blunted at the tips to prevent harm, these humane spikes are constructed from rigid, UV-protected polycarbonate and backed by a 5-year guarantee. Featuring a narrow 1.5-inch base that easily glies, screws, or ties down to any surface, plastic spikes are available in 2-foot sections and 3-, 5-, and 7-inch widths across various colors (including crystal clear, white, light gray, brick red, brown, black, and tan) to blend seamlessly with any structure.

3. Sonic Shield Motion-Activated Deterrents

For motion-triggered deterrence without the hassle of plumbing or water supply lines, the Sonic Shield™ Pest Deterrent uses a motion sensor to guard open zones like yards, gardens, patios, and pool decks. When birds or pests enter its coverage area, the device triggers a multi-sensory response combining flashing LED strobe lights with startling sound alerts. Compact and battery-operated, it offers customizable daytime and night-only operating modes to deliver targeted, low-maintenance protection right where pest birds gather.
