How to Keep Small Birds Off Your Building
In many cases, small birds can be as costly a headache to building owners as large birds—maybe not in their size, but in their numbers. Spring is when they come looking for nesting sites, food, and water, and most buildings provide these things, sometimes without even knowing it. Sprinkler systems create water puddles, open trash containers provide food, and rooftops offer all sorts of nooks and crannies for birds like sparrows and finches to nest. Once they’ve settled in, they can damage and deface many areas of a building. Fortunately, the bird control pros at Bird B Gone have a number of ways to keep small birds off buildings.
Bird Slope Panels
Bird B Gone’s Bird Slope panels deny birds access to all those 90-degree nooks and crannies in and around your building. When pest birds attempt to land on these angled, slippery panels, they slide right off. The panels are easily screwed, glued, or nailed to any flat surface, and a glue trough on the underside of each panel simplifies installation using standard outdoor polyurethane adhesives. A convenient "snap on" Slope Extender easily adapts the panels to ledges wider than 10 inches, special mounting clips allow the panels to be installed vertically on the sides of buildings, and end caps prevent birds from getting behind the panels. Bird Slope comes in two colors (stone and grey) and is made of UV-protected PVC material for lasting durability in punishing weather, remaining non-conductive for extra safety near electrical wiring.
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 the curved architectural features of a canopy or arch. 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.
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 from sub-zero to high heat. 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.
