Birds like pigeons and gulls love to land on your boat, roof, A.C. units and other areas and make them their home. A great way to keep bird away from your property is to install bird spiders. The Bird Spider 360 manufactured by Bird-B-Gone, Inc. in the USA is a physical bird deterrent that keeps birds from landing and roosting. It is ideal to use to keep birds away from boats, A.C. units, patio furniture; patio covers and other areas birds are a nuisance.

The Bird Spider 360 is made of stainless steel arms to a UV protected polycarbonate base. Each arm of the bird spider is fitted with polycarbonate tip to assist in movement and prevent scuffing. A locking mechanism keeps Bird Spider 360 attached to the base while spinning in the breeze.

How the Bird Spider 360 Works

The Bird Spider 360s come in four sizes, 2-foot, 4-foot, 6-foot and 8-foot diameters. They have 8 legs that wiggle and bounce in the breeze alerting the birds to danger in the area. The birds will not land near the area covered by the bird spiders and will move on to a more suitable area. The bird spiders are ideal to use on wide-open areas like boat canvases and A.C. units. They will cover up to an 8-foot radius, making the bird spider one of the most economical bird deterrent devices by area.

When the bird spiders are no longer needed, like when using your boat, patio furniture or during winter months, the spiders can be folded up and stored away. Next season or during docking times for your boat, just take the spiders out of storage and set them up again.

Bird Spider Base Options

The Bird Spider 360 comes with a PVC base that can be glued down to the surface being protected. Use this base for permanent installations such as rooftops, rooftop equipment and other areas where a permanent solution is the best choice.

There are three optional bases for the Bird Spider 360; the boat base, sandbag base and a railing mount.

Sandbag base: ideal when using the Bird Spider 360 on boat canvas, A.C. units, patio furniture or other flat surfaces that the spider needs to be weighted down, but not permanently installed to.

Boat Base: is ideal for using on rolled up sales, masts and radar antenna where the bird spiders are to be used against large perching birds, but not permanently installed.

Railing Mount: is used when pigeons and gulls are landing on boat rails or chain link fences. The rail mount easily attaches to different size rails. It is ideal to use with a 2-foot or 4-foot Bird Spider 360.
