Pigeon Control Products that Protect Commercial Buildings
Commercial buildings have special needs and problems when it comes to pigeon control. These buildings often have many more places for birds to build nests, with rooftop structures like AC units, skylights, solar panels and other equipment offering shelter. In some cities, water-cooling towers used in the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems provide the damp, warm environment that attracts pigeons. Bird droppings in these areas pose a major health risk since bacteria often thrive in these environments.
Pigeon droppings and nests also clog AC unit fans and water drainage channels, which lead to expensive repairs. Signage and windows defaced by bird droppings can create a significant image problem. In short, pigeons pose a costly headache for commercial building owners and managers, one that taxes already strained maintenance budgets. The solution is effective pigeon control. Here is what our experts recommend to protect commercial buildings.
Recommended Pigeon Control Products
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 is 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 control spikes keep pigeons off rooftops, parapet walls, light fixtures and other flat or curved surfaces. 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, the Bird Spider 360 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 our 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 waterproof, 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 a more secure landing zone.
Bird Chase Super Sonic
The Bird Chase Super Sonic emits pre-recorded distress and predator calls that intimidate over 24 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. The unit is AC-powered and will not bother customers, employees or tenants.
More Prevention Measures
In addition to pigeon control products, there are a few steps you can take to rid your building of pigeons. These include keeping trash containers closed, eliminating water puddles (caused by rain or sprinklers), and discouraging visitors and employees from feeding them.
