Time to Scare Birds Away from Your Fast-Food Restaurant

Time to Scare Birds Away from Your Fast-Food Restaurant

Posted on May 25, 2014 by Terri Anne Meyer in Bird Control

With the spring and summer months fast approaching, you'll hopefully have more traffic through your fast food restaurant—unless you have a pest bird problem. Without effective bird control measures, bird pests will flock to your eatery looking for scraps on and under outdoor tables, benches, and all around trash containers.

Pest birds leave ugly bird droppings that not only smell bad but can carry any of 60 known diseases. Many fast food eateries have been cited for the presence of bird droppings on outdoor tables, benches, chairs, pass-thru windowsills, and outdoor play equipment. Customers won't frequent a business covered in droppings, which can also create dangerous slip-and-fall hazards on walkways and entryways.

The time to protect your business is now, before flocks of pest birds arrive for the season. The bird control experts at Bird-B-Gone have several effective and humane deterrents that will keep pest birds away so you can maintain clean, pest-free outdoor dining spaces.

Effective Bird Deterrents for Fast Food Restaurants

Anti-Perching Bird Spikes

Bird-B-Gone Bird Spikes won't allow pigeons, crows, gulls, and other large birds to perch or roost wherever they're installed. Recommended for keeping pest birds off roofs, AC units, parapet walls, signage, and other elevated areas, Plastic Bird Spikes won't harm birds or maintenance crews.

These high-quality bird spikes are fabricated of marine-grade stainless steel embedded into a UV-protected polycarbonate base so they'll last for years, maintenance-free. The specially designed flexible base allows the spiked strips to follow the many curved surfaces of your signage and exterior architecture. The spikes are crush-proof and feature a non-reflective metal finish.

Electric Bird Repellents

Bird-B-Gone Bird Jolt Flat Track gently persuades pest birds not to land on its electrified surface. The low-profile track imparts a harmless but convincing electric shock to a bird's toes. The ¼-inch thick track is virtually invisible and keeps pest birds off signage, canopies, awnings, parapet walls, and elevated ledges.

The highly flexible track follows the contour of most curved surfaces. Its UV-protected PVC base bends 360° and is entirely waterproof. It's the only electric track with a patented anti-arcing design to prevent track short-outs. Unique, patented glue troughs along the base insulate the track's conductors for added safety and installation ease.

Bird Spiders

To keep pest birds away from specific target areas of your restaurant, learn how to keep birds away with the Bird Spider 360. They're easily mounted on rooftop AC units, awnings, canopies, fixed umbrellas, and other elevated areas to scare birds away with long, spindly arms that whip about in the breeze.

Some fast food restaurants place Bird Spiders on outdoor tables before opening hours to keep pest birds from perching and pooping on them. Bird Spiders come in several diameters (arm lengths) to create ever-wider areas of bird deterrence.
