Homemade Solutions Not Working? The Bird Control Products You Should Be Using
If you own a retail establishment, pest birds can become a real problem. Besides leaving unsightly and unsanitary droppings everywhere, birds can damage roofs, block AC units, and clog rain gutters. Some birds have even caused fires when they build their nests in lighted signage. Many store owners and property managers think they can solve their pest bird problem using homemade devices and solutions. These run the gamut from firecrackers and plastic snakes to poisons and pellet guns. The first two are ineffective because they work either temporarily or not at all. The last two may be illegal and lead to dead birds around your retail store—not something that will endear you to your customers. The bird control experts at Bird B Gone have a few suggestions on bird control products that are both effective and humane.
Electric Bird Control Products
Bird B Gone's Bird Jolt Flat Track educates pest birds with a harmless electric shock. The low-profile track is virtually invisible and is ideal for deterring birds from signage, canopies, awnings, parapet walls, and elevated ledges. The track's UV-protected PVC base bends a full 360 degrees, allowing it to follow the contours of sign letters and other curved surfaces. The waterproof track incorporates a patented anti-arcing design to prevent short outs.
Sound Bird Control Products
Intimidating bird pests with sounds they dread to hear, Bird B Gone's Bird Chase Super Sonic broadcasts pre-recorded distress and predator calls for over 22 different species of birds. The calls of hawks and falcons—the natural enemies of most pest birds—are combined with the distress calls of birds under attack. Unlike useless ultrasonic bird scare devices, which emit sounds birds cannot hear, the calls emitted by the Bird Chase device are plainly heard by pest birds. Powered by standard 110V AC with a 50 ft power cord, the unit includes customizable day, night, or 24-hour operation via a built-in light sensor and covers up to 1 acre (expandable to 5 acres with additional speakers).
Spiked Bird Control Products
Proven time and again as a permanent barrier, Bird B Gone plastic bird spikes are an effective and humane anti-perching, anti-roosting deterrent. The spiked strips come in two-foot sections and 3-, 5-, and 7-inch widths to accommodate specific areas that require pest bird deterrence. The base of each spiked strip is just 1.5 inches wide, which means it can be glued, nailed, or tied down to narrow surfaces.
Net Bird Control Products
Bird B Gone's Bird Net 2000 Heavy Duty Bird Netting blocks pest birds from specific areas. Fabricated of tough UV-stabilized polyethylene mesh, the netting is rot-proof, waterproof, flame resistant, and stable across extreme temperature ranges. It comes in custom cuts up to 200 ft and multiple mesh sizes (including 2-inch, 1-1/8-inch, and 3/4-inch). Often specified by architects, this netting is backed by a 10-year guarantee.
