Pigeon Control for Pest Control Installers

Commercial and industrial pest control installers are in an excellent position to recommend pigeon control measures to their clients. Pest control installers already have much of the equipment they need to properly install effective pigeon control deterrents. And their clients will appreciate their efforts in keeping their buildings and structures bird free.

Controlling Damage

Unless deterred by effective pigeon controls, pigeon droppings, feathers and nesting materials can damage costly rooftop HVAC units, attic ventilation turbines, skylights, solar panels, and solar water heaters.

Pest bird debris can also clog rain gutters and spouts, which can eventually lead to leaks. Feathers, small twigs and dried droppings can be very flammable, especially when they come in contact with weathered wiring in signage, rooftop electrical equipment or a hot chimney pipe. Finally, bird debris can clog ventilation pipes, which can allow lethal carbon monoxide to build-up inside a building.

Reducing On-Going Maintenance

Besides eliminating the damage that pest pigeons cause, bird deterrents help reduce maintenance and cleanup costs that clients typically must routinely pay for. Effective, humane pigeon control solves these problems. Here’s what the bird control pros at Bird B Gone recommend for today’s Pest Control Installers.

• Bird Jolt Flat Track Kit. Producing a harmless electric shock that “educates” pigeons, this electrified track keeps birds off ledges, signage, parapet walls and similar commercial building surfaces. Lightweight and flexible, the track is easy to install—it bends 360° without compromising its electrical integrity. It’s the only electric track bird deterrent system with patented anti-arcing and glue troughs designs for improved safety and performance. Available in six colors.

• Stainless Steel Pigeon Spikes. Proven to deter even the most stubborn pigeons from landing, these pigeon spikes keep pigeons off rooftops, parapet walls, light fixtures and other flat or curved surfaces, Bird B Gone bird spikes are used as pigeon control by building owners worldwide. The spikes come in 1-, 3-, 5- and 8-inch splay widths to provide increasingly wider areas of protection—up to 10 inches wide. These rugged spiked strips feature a patented “bend-and-crush” design, which means the spikes are firmly embedded in an unbreakable UV-protected polycarbonate base. This flexible base bends a full 360 degrees, so it can easily “follow” a variety of curved mounting surfaces.

• Bird Spider 360. This multi-legged “Daddy Long Legs” device achieves pigeon control by keeping birds off AC units, lights, signs and rooftops. Ruggedly designed for outdoor use, it features marine grade stainless steel “arms” in four leg lengths to protect diameters up to 8 feet. A PVC base allows the Spider to be easily placed wherever pigeons gather most often.

• Bird Net 2000 Heavy Duty Netting. Ideal for excluding pigeons from overhangs and other semi-enclosed areas, this heavy-duty netting is easy to install using Bird B Gone’s complete line of professional grade installation hardware. Made of a tough UV-stabilized polyethylene mesh, industrial strength Bird Net 2000 is extremely durable, rot and water proof, and flame resistant. The netting comes in several area sizes and colors (black, stone or white) to blend in with its background. Bird Net 2000 is often specified in architectural pigeon control plans and is backed by a 10-Year Guarantee.

• Bird Wire. A highly efficient pigeon control solution, this post-and-wire system discourages pigeons from landing on ledges, rails, signs, rooftops, and many other curved or flat surfaces. The system, uses a wire attached to springs, which are attached to posts, walls or other fixed mounts. When pigeons land on the wire, the system causes them to wobble, zig and zag, making them feel very insecure. This quickly prompts birds to move on to another more secure landing zone.

• Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic. This device emits pre-recorded distress and predator calls that intimidate as many as 22 species of birds—including pigeons. Ideal for getting rid of pigeons from lofty, hard to reach areas, the device is water resistant, programmable, and comes with a built-in speaker that will cover up to an acre. Because it’s solar powered, no AC access is needed, so it can be placed wherever pigeons gather most often. The natural bird sounds will not bother customers, employees or tenants.
