Invest in Bird Control
One of the biggest concerns for building maintenance and property management companies is how to keep birds away from commercial structures. Millions of dollars are spent each year cleaning up after pigeons, gulls, crows, and other pest birds. The costs of repairing structural damage can be catastrophic when no bird control strategies are in place. It is critical not to ignore the problem and to implement proactive bird control products before birds create structural or health issues.
Bird droppings are unsightly and project a poor image for any business. Beyond being dirty, they are hazardous. Accumulated droppings can spread over 60 transmittable diseases to humans. The investment in bird control to eliminate health hazards and potential liability risks is minimal compared to the costs of slip-and-fall accidents, lawsuits, and brand reputation damage. Recovering from a tarnished public image is difficult once the damage is done.
Pigeons alone cause thousands of dollars in damage each year to buildings, machinery, equipment, and industrial facilities. Companies and government agencies spend heavily on cleaning up bird feces and repairing caustic, corrosive damage from accumulated droppings. Investing in proper bird control solutions prevents these continuous expenses at a fraction of the cost.
Bird Control Solutions
One bird control solution that effectively deters birds from buildings and corporate signs is bird spikes. While available in various styles, all bird spikes share the same purpose: humanely stopping large pest birds, such as pigeons, from landing by creating an uneven, uninviting surface.
Plastic Bird Spikes
Plastic bird spikes are manufactured from UV-protected polycarbonate. These spikes come in two-foot sections with three different splay widths (3", 5", and 7") and six color options (white, tan, brick red, brown, black, and gray) to blend seamlessly into their surroundings. When installed correctly, they are virtually invisible. Plastic spikes are non-conductive, meaning they will not interfere with electrical or communication systems. Featuring a built-in glue trough base for fast application, plastic bird spikes offer a cost-effective exclusion option.
Specialized Stainless Steel and Heavy-Duty Spikes
Additional spike options include stainless steel spikes, gutter bird spikes, girder spikes, and mega bird spikes. For example, girder spikes provide targeted physical deterrence for structural steel I-beams, while mega spikes handle extreme infestations. Each spike variation addresses specific architectural challenges.
