Got Pest Birds? Scare them Away with Visual Bird Deterrents!

Posted on June 28, 2014 by Alex Kecskes in Visual Bird Deterrents

Are pest birds eating the fruits and berries in your garden? Are they pooping all over your property and pool? If so, the bird control pros at Bird B Gone have a few simple, cost-effective solutions. Inexpensive visual bird deterrents exploit a bird's natural survival instincts to keep pest birds from flocking to your property.

Red-Tailed Hawk Decoys

Pest birds are constantly on guard for predators, with many species even posting sentries to warn the flock of imminent danger. To exploit this natural fear, Bird B Gone offers highly realistic hawk decoys. Because hawks hunt actively during peak daylight hours when pest birds are feeding, hawk replicas serve as a far more effective daytime threat than traditional owl decoys. To remain effective, decoys must look convincing—birds will quickly spot poorly made imitations. Constructed from heavy-duty, weather-resistant plastic, Bird B Gone hawk decoys withstand long-term sun, wind, and rain exposure.

Holographic Flash Tape

Holographic Flash Tape is a simple yet effective visual and auditory scare tactic. Made from commercial-grade iridescent Mylar, the tape produces dual-sensory disruption. The mirrored reflective surface catches sunlight to cast brilliant, disorienting light flashes that birds mistake for fire. Simultaneously, as ambient breeze moves the tape, it creates a crisp metallic crackling noise that heightens bird anxiety and keeps them from landing. Flash tape comes in rolls that can easily be cut with scissors into short strips and tied to tree branches, arbors, or garden stakes.

Bird Scare Balloons & Scare Eye Diverters

Bird B Gone's inflatable, beach-ball-sized Scare Balloons and teardrop-shaped Scare Eye Diverters feature bold, printed mock predator eyes framed by vivid colors. As these hanging visual scares sway, spin, and bob in the wind, pest birds perceive them as active predators watching the area, causing them to flee the property.

Maximizing Visual Deterrent Effectiveness

Birds are intelligent and can become accustomed to static visual objects over time. For maximum long-term effectiveness, Bird B Gone recommends periodically relocating decoys, scare balloons, and hanging diverters to reinforce the threat and prevent birds from habituating.
