How to Keep Birds Away from Hotels and Motels

Posted on May 30, 2014 by Alex Kecskes in Bird Control

If you own or manage a hotel close to an airport, pest birds can become a real problem. Bird pests like to loaf and loiter around airport areas because they're drawn to the open spaces around them. The lofty areas provided by many nearby hotels offer safe refuge from weather and predators. Birds often build nests around signs, ledges and inside mechanical louvers of these hotels. Besides being unsightly, bird nests around signs can cause electrical fires, as the dry branches and feathers make excellent kindling. Bird debris can also block vents, skylights, solar panels and rooftop AC units--all very costly systems to repair and maintain.

The solution is professional bird deterrents. The bird control experts at Bird-B-Gone have three humane and effective deterrents that will keep birds away from your hotel.

1. Stainless Steel Bird Spikes

Bird B Gone Bird Spikes create a no-landing zone wherever they're installed. And they deter all medium-to-large birds like pigeons, crows, and gulls. Bird spikes will keep birds away from your hotels parapet walls, rooflines, AC units, signage and other lofty perches. The quality-constructed spikes are made of marine-grade stainless steel embedded into a UV-protected polycarbonate base, so they're virtually maintenance free. The flexible base allows the spiked sections to easily curve around signage and other architectural features. And the small base means you can install them on narrow surfaces. The non-reflective spikes are crush-proof and easily installed using glue, screws or tie downs. The spikes are blunted at the tips so they won't injure birds or maintenance crews.

2. Keep Birds Away with Sonics

Bird B Gone's Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic uses intimidating sounds that strike fear in birds. It broadcasts pre-recorded distress and predator calls that pest birds will regard as an imminent threat. The device creates these sounds for 22 different species of birds. The threatening calls are broadcast for two minutes and repeated every 10 minutes. A volume control allows you to adjust the sound intensity from 65 to 105 decibels. The Bird Chase device is unlike ultrasonic bird scare devices, which emit sounds birds cant hear. The other advantage is that, since its solar powered, it can easily be placed wherever pest birds tend to gather and roost; and will keep birds away from protected areas.

3. Bird Spiders Make Excellent Bird Repellents

Bird B Gone's Bird Spider 360 keeps pest birds off rooftop AC units and other flat areas where pest birds like to perch. Its long spindly arms whip about in the slightest breeze to intimidate any approaching bird. Bird Spiders are available in several diameters 2", 4", 6" and 8" to protect increasingly wider areas. They're easy to set up, practically invisible and maintenance free. They're also easily moved to areas where pest birds gather most often to keep birds away from those areas. Different mounting bases add even more flexibility.
