How to keep small birds from entering your building

How to keep small birds from entering your building

Posted on April 10, 2016 by Alex Kecskes in Bird Control

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 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” Mesh

Bird-B-Gone’s Bird Net 2000 Heavy Duty Bird Netting 3/4” mesh creates a physical barrier that denies pest birds access to openings and overhangs of your building. This netting is often specified by architects and contractors. Made of tough UV-stabilized polyethylene, the netting rot-proof, waterproof and flame resistant. It blocks birds through an extreme range of temperatures—from -250F to +270F. Because it’s 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. The black netting is backed by an industry leading 10-year guarantee.

Copper Stuf-Fit Mesh Bird Deterrent

Ideal for keeping tiny birds out of small crevices, holes and nooks in your building, Bird-B-Gone’s Copper Stuf-Fit mesh is easily “shaped” to seal out pest birds. The mesh comes in 6-inch wide, 20-foot rolls. It’s also rustproof and stain proof (steel wool will rust, run and stain surfaces). Copper Stuf-Fit 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, for 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° without compromising its integrity. The track can 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, since it measures just 1/4" at its highest point. Available in six colors, the track blends in easily with its surroundings. Bird Jolt Flat Track is the only electric track bird deterrent system with patented anti-arcing design to guard against track short outs. It’s also the only system with patented glue troughs along the base to insulate the track’s conductors. It comes in 100 ft. rolls, and can be glued down to virtually any surface. The entire system is powered by either an AC charger or solar charger.
