Is Your Backyard Ready for Summer with Bird Control Devices?

School is out and summer is here finally. It is time for the kids to put the electronic devices away and get outside and play. If you have not installed bird control devices of any kind then most likely there will need to be clean up done first before you can let the kids out to play. The pest bird droppings can be a nuisance. They are quite unsightly, but that is not the real reason. Droppings are a hazard and they can ruin what they are left on. They are very acidic and will eat through metals that are on the swing set, wood on the play house and any other materials left out for them to perch on. Also, the droppings carry diseases such as salmonella and E coli. Using a hospital grade clean-up is suggested. This will ensure that the area is sanitized as well as disinfected. Once the yard is all cleaned up bird control devices need to be implemented to keep the droppings from accumulating again. Birds can be temporarily scared away by the movement and noises that come from the children at play, but they will return as soon as the movement and noise goes away. Installing bird control devices that work night and day will change the environment and will force the birds to find themselves a new playground.

Bird Control Devices That Use Sound

There are bird control products that use sound to scare birds away. A sonic bird deterrent is the perfect bird control device. Sounds emit from the device that intimidates the birds. The sounds are predator calls and distress calls. The Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic from Bird-B-Gone has over 22 difference species of birds programmed into the device. The calls are broadcasted every ten minutes and each unit can be programmed to play during the day or at night or both. The calls are actual bird calls so there will be no strange sounds coming from your yard. You can scare birds away using sound but do not be deceived into buying an ultrasonic device that transmits high-frequency sounds. Birds hear at the same level as humans. If you cannot hear the calls, then the birds will not be able to either.

Physical Bird Deterrent Devices

A physical bird deterrent device is a form of bird control that does not allow the birds to physically land in an area. There are bird deterrents that use wind, solar power or the backyard hose. The Scarecrow Motion Activated Sprinkler is ideal for deterring larger pest birds such as pigeons, geese, ducks and crows. It works by releasing an immediate spray of water when a bird is detected by the infrared sensor up to 35 feet away. The unit covers an area 35 out by 45 wide. The larger birds mentioned will definitely look for your backyard if you have a pool. But when they try and enter the area, the pool is not the water they will be getting.

Both bird control devices are harmless, both safe and humane for the birds and anything or anyone else who comes in contact with them.
