Three Surprising Ways to Scare Birds Away from Your Property

Everyone knows that a loud bang or throwing sticks at a pest bird will scare it away. Trouble is, birds will return as soon as the threat is over. What many property owners don't realize is that there are a number of ways to scare birds away by exploiting their natural fears. This approach is important if you want to prevent the defacement and damage birds can bring to your property. It's also a way to get rid of pest birds without harming them.

The bird control experts at Bird B Gone have developed a number of ways to effectively scare birds away based on the scientific research of ornithologists. Here are three pest bird deterrents that may surprise you.

Scare Birds Away Electrically

Based on a bird's fear of the unknown, Bird B Gone's Bird Jolt Flat Track gently jolts pest birds off its electrified surface. Birds don't understand the uncomfortable shock, feel threatened by it, and leave. The low-profile 1/4-inch thick track is virtually invisible and will keep pest birds off signage, canopies, awnings, parapet walls, and elevated ledges. The flexible track easily follows the contour of most curved surfaces. It incorporates a UV-protected PVC base that can bend a full 360 degrees. The waterproof track features a unique, patented anti-arcing design to prevent short outs. Patented glue troughs along the base insulate the track's conductors for additional safety.

Scare Birds Away With Spiders

Birds don't like long, spindly arms that threaten to grab them. That's the basic principle behind Bird B Gone's Bird Spider 360. This wind-powered multi-tentacle deterrent features long, spindly arms that whip about in the slightest breeze to convince pest birds they are about to be snared if they venture too close. Bird Spiders will scare birds away from rooftop AC units, awnings, canopies, skylights, solar panels, and other elevated areas. Bird Spiders come in four diameter sizes—2 ft, 4 ft, 6 ft, and 8 ft—to create ever-wider areas of bird deterrence. They feature UV-protected polycarbonate tips that prevent surfaces from being scuffed. Easy to install, they are virtually invisible and maintenance-free.

Scare Birds Away by Intimidation

Bird B Gone's Bird Chase Super Sonic broadcasts pre-recorded predator calls of a bird's worst natural enemies, such as falcons and hawks. Adding to the fear factor, the device also broadcasts distress calls of their fellow birds under attack. It's a convincing combination of sound intimidation that no bird will want to endure. The Bird Chase device generates distress and predator calls for over 22 different species of birds. The sounds resemble natural bird calls, so they won't bother humans or pets. Unlike useless ultrasonic units, birds hear at the same range as humans and will actually react to these calls. Featuring simple controls and a built-in light sensor for day, night, or 24-hour operation, the unit plugs into any standard 110V AC outlet to deliver reliable coverage for up to one full acre (expandable to 5 acres with additional speakers).
