How to Keep Small Birds from Entering Your Building
It’s springtime, and birds will be looking for places to nest and roost. A particular problem is the presence of small birds on and in buildings. Birds like sparrows and finches are small enough to enter the tiny cracks and crevices found in many structures, and once they’ve settled in, they’ll build nests, leave droppings, and cause both damage and defacement to your building. What to do? The bird control pros at Bird B Gone have a few suggestions.
Heavy Duty Bird Netting (3/4-Inch Mesh)
Bird B Gone’s Bird Net 2000 Heavy Duty Bird Netting with a 3/4-inch mesh creates a physical barrier that denies pest birds access to openings and overhangs on your building. Often specified by architects and contractors, this netting is made of tough, UV-stabilized polyethylene that is rot-proof, waterproof, and flame-resistant, blocking birds through an extreme range of temperatures. Because it is a non-conductive material, the netting can be used around electrical systems and RF transmission antennas without causing shorts or microwave interference. Bird Net 2000 also meets the stringent requirements of ISO 1806 and 9001 Protocol Mesh Testing for quality and mesh burst strength, and the black netting is backed by an industry-leading 10-year guarantee.
Copper Mesh Bird Deterrent
Ideal for keeping tiny birds out of small crevices, holes, and nooks in your building, Bird B Gone’s Copper Mesh is easily shaped to seal out pest birds. The mesh comes in 6-inch-wide, 20-foot rolls and is rustproof and stain-proof (unlike steel wool, which can rust and stain exterior surfaces). Copper Mesh even keeps birds from working their way under roofing shingles and nesting around conduit and lighting fixtures.
Bird Jolt Flat Track
Humane and highly effective, Bird B Gone's Bird Jolt Flat Track works by modifying a bird’s behavior, because once shocked, birds are reluctant to return. Simple to install and set up, the track features a flexible, UV-protected PVC base that bends a full 360 degrees without compromising its integrity, allowing it to easily follow the rounded surfaces of signage letters and curved architectural features. The track is totally waterproof and features tight connections to ensure both safety and installation ease. Installed, the low-profile track is almost invisible, measuring just 1/4 inch at its highest point, and is available in six colors to blend in easily with its surroundings. Bird Jolt Flat Track is the only electric track bird deterrent system with a patented anti-arcing design to guard against track short-outs and patented glue troughs along the base to insulate the track’s conductors. It comes in 100-foot rolls, can be glued down to virtually any surface, and is powered by either an AC charger or solar charger.
