How to Keep Pigeons Away: Its as Simple as A-B-Z
Whether you own a single store or manage an entire strip mall, pigeons can pose a costly, year-round nuisance. Perching on rooflines, parapet walls, light poles, outdoor tables, chairs, and benches, they create a messy environment for shoppers. Unless you deter them with effective bird control devices, these birds will gather in larger and larger flocks. How to keep pigeons away from shopping areas has been a major concern for commercial property owners. Fortunately, there are effective and humane solutions. The bird control experts at Bird B Gone have developed a simple plan to protect your commercial property.
Annoy Them with Sonic Deterrents
Pest birds are constantly on the alert for the sounds of natural predators like hawks and falcons. Bird B Gone's Bird Chase Super Sonic emits pre-recorded predator calls of these swift hunters, along with distress calls from pigeons in danger. Pigeons within earshot of these threats will not want to stay in the area.
The system repeats threatening calls at regular intervals to consistently intimidate flocking birds. These audible calls resemble normal bird sounds to the human ear and will not disrupt shoppers. Unlike ineffective ultrasonic bird scare devices—which emit frequencies above the hearing range of birds—the Bird Chase Super Sonic broadcasts clear audio that birds actually hear to keep pigeons away. The AC-powered unit includes a 50 ft power cord and provides up to 1 acre of coverage (expandable up to 5 acres with additional satellite speakers).
Block Them with Bird Spikes
Bird spikes create a physical barrier that prevents birds from perching or roosting. These anti-perching devices protect rooftops, parapet walls, canopies, light poles, and elevated structures. Bird B Gone Stainless Steel Pigeon Spikes are fabricated with marine-grade stainless steel pins embedded into a UV-protected polycarbonate base, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh weather and direct sun.
The flexible base allows the spiked strips to curve around signage and complex architectural features. Crush-proof spikes are available in 1-, 3-, 5-, and 8-inch widths to protect surfaces up to 8 inches wide. With a narrow base of just 1.5 inches, spiked sections install easily on slim surfaces using screws, glue, or zip ties.
Zap Them with Electric Track Systems
Bird B Gone's Bird Jolt Flat Track imparts a mild, harmless electric shock to a pigeon's feet upon landing, conditioning pest birds to avoid the area entirely. It is a highly effective way to keep pigeons away from signage, ledges, parapet walls, and eaves.
Measuring just 1/4 inch at its highest point, the track remains virtually invisible from ground level. The UV-stabilized flexible PVC base bends 360 degrees to follow curved signage, canopies, and building contours. Bird Jolt features a patented anti-arcing design to prevent track short circuits, along with glue troughs that insulate the conductors for long-term reliability.
