Bird Wire

Prevent Birds from Landing and Roosting With a Low Profile Solution

The Bird Wire System from Bird-B-Gone is a virtually invisible, low-profile deterrent designed to keep large pest birds off ledges, parapet walls, rooflines, handrails, and architectural accents. Widely specified by architects and engineers, bird wire provides a discreet, highly effective barrier that protects commercial and residential properties without altering their aesthetic appearance.

What is Bird Wire?

Bird wire, also known as post-and-wire bird control, consists of a nylon-coated stainless steel wire suspended between a series of stainless steel posts and tension springs. When a bird attempts to land on the wire, the unstable, vibrating surface startles them and makes landing impossible, forcing them to move elsewhere.

Because of its ultra-low visibility, bird wire is the premier choice for historic buildings, luxury hotels, storefronts, and architectural facades where aesthetic preservation is critical. While it is a humane solution, it is best suited for light-to-medium bird pressure areas and larger species like pigeons and gulls.

What Makes Bird Wire So Effective?

The effectiveness of a bird wire system lies in its clever mechanical design and unobtrusive profile. Rather than using physical blocks, it exploits a bird's natural aversion to unstable landing surfaces:

Low-Profile Aesthetics: Virtually invisible from ground level, making it the top choice for architects and high-end properties.
Spring-Tension Instability: The spring mechanism creates an unstable, shifting landing zone that startles perching birds.
Corrosion-Resistant Durability: Built with marine-grade stainless steel posts and nylon-coated wire to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Versatile Mounting: Can be glued, drilled, or anchored into various surfaces including stone, brick, concrete, and metal.
