Pest Birds Defacing Your Store Front? Time for Bird Repellents!

If you own a retail store, you've undoubtedly had pest bird problems. They gather and perch on your signage, parapet walls, canopies, awnings, and other architectural nooks and crannies. When they do, bird pests can cause considerable damage and defacement. Bird droppings trailing down your storefront can negatively impact your image, turning away customers—especially if you offer outdoor dining or patio seating. Droppings and nesting debris can also deface and damage your signage. In some cases, the nesting materials can ignite a fire in the signage. No matter how you look at it, if you don't regard birds as pests, you're in for some costly cleanups and repairs. For broader property maintenance strategies, explore our top bird proofing tips for commercial buildings and learn how to get the right product for the job correctly installed the first time.

Now there's a proven bird repellent solution retailers can use to scare birds from their storefronts. It's called Bird Jolt Flat Track.

Zaps Pest Birds the Second They Land

Bird Jolt imparts a harmless but unforgettable electric jolt to any bird that lands on its surface. Lay this track down on ledges, roof lines, parapet walls, and eaves, and bird pests will avoid the area. One jolt is all it takes for this bird repellent to work. The track measures just 1/4" at its highest point, so it's virtually invisible. It even comes in a rainbow of colors—clear, grey, stone, black, terracotta, and red—to blend in with your store's exterior color.

Safe, Effective Bird Repellent

Bird Jolt Flat Track features a UV-protected PVC base that bends a full 360°, so it can easily follow curved signage, canopies, and architectural features. Safe and effective, the track is waterproof with tight connections. Bird Jolt is the only electric track bird repellent system with a patented anti-arcing design to prevent track short-outs. It's also the only system with patented glue troughs along the base to insulate the track's conductors.

Easy Installation

Bird Jolt Flat Track installs easily on virtually any flat or curved surface. It features a marine-grade Monel knitted wire, which is actually stronger than steel and less likely to corrode in alkali or acidic environments. The knitted design uses a single strand of high-gauge wire, combined with a tube-within-a-tube construction for enhanced conductivity and strength. The track comes in 100 ft. rolls and can be glued down to virtually any surface. The bird repellent system is powered by either an AC charger or a solar charger.

Consider Spikes or Repellent Gels

In some cases (to protect security cameras, detached lighting fixtures, and smaller areas), you may want to use Bird-B-Gone Plastic Bird Spikes. Made of unbreakable UV-protected polycarbonate plastic, they won't allow pest birds to perch. The spiked strips come in 3-, 5-, and 7-inch widths to protect areas up to 7 inches wide. They also come in a variety of colors—including crystal clear, brick red, light grey, brown, black, and tan—to blend in with their background. Each bird spike is manufactured in the USA and comes with a 5-year guarantee. For narrow architectural ledges or signage where physical spikes aren't ideal, applying a discreet bird repellent gel creates an uncomfortable sticky surface that keeps birds from landing.
