Bird Gel

The pest birds are very active in the early morning hours.  It might be that you are awakened by them.  If you have your window open, you might hear them chirping in the trees.  You also might hear them congregating on your rooftop.  At night, the crows and black birds may move in and roost and pick at the tiles on the roof.  When they are there, they are leaving their droppings behind.  There are verified instances of heavy bird droppings caving in rooftops.  This is an extreme example, but when bird control is not in place in a problem area such as the rooftop, the area can be damaged.

Fortunately, there are ways to keep pest birds off rooftops.  Bird spikes have been keeping birds off rooftops and other susceptible areas for quite some time now.  When you are familiar with bird spikes, you might begin to see them more often.  When they are applied properly, they are virtually invisible.  This is why you might not have noticed them at various businesses before, or on other people’s homes.

Bird spikes are easy to install by the average homeowner.  They can be simply glued, screwed or nailed down.  There are variations in bird spikes.  They come in stainless steel or a rigid U.V-resistant and unbreakable polycarbonate.  The plastic polycarbonate bird spikes are popular with homeowners because they come in an assortment of colors that will match the coloring of the rooftop.  The colors include brick red, brown, tan, gray, black and white.  Bird spikes are placed on roof crowns, ledges and parapet walls where the birds tend to land.

Another rooftop bird control solution is a bird gel.  Bird gels are a highly effective bird deterrent.  The bird gel creates a very sticky and uncomfortable surface for the birds to land on.  Bird gel is applied on the roof top in the same places as bird spikes using a standard caulking gun and the bird gel only needs to be re-applied every six months.

Bird spikes are effective for the larger birds where bird gels are effective against both large and small pest birds.
 

Attracted by food and a nesting place to hatch their young, Robins tend to dwell in dense shrubs and trees on your property. These pest birds are also known for scaring smaller birds away from bird feeders on your property and they are notorious for landing on window seals where they peck at their reflection.

In addition to being a nuisance and carrying a host of bacteria in their droppings, certain species of Robins are known carriers of the West Nile Virus, which is easily spread to humans via mosquitos so keeping these pest birds away is important to many home owners.
It’s always best to start with a visual deterrent for getting rid of Robins. They are preyed on by hawk, which makes the Red Tail Hawk decoy an excellent and inexpensive solution to bird control. Other visual deterrents, such as the scare eye and flash tape, which can both be hung around your property to divert birds to another location, are efficient and inexpensive ways to get rid of birds.

Robins are a rather vigilant species of bird because they gather in droves making them strong in numbers, giving them extra eyes to watch for predators. Therefore, if visual diverters are not enough of a bird deterrent for your relentless Robin problem, perhaps try sound bird deterrents. The Sonic Shield is a motion activated sound device that replicates a vicious barking dog when activated. Another sound deterrent is the Solar Bird Chase Sonic, which is a solar powered sound device that scares birds away by playing recorded sounds depicting bird distress and predator calls.
 

To get rid of birds on your window seal, Transparent Bird Gel can be applied to the surface to create an unpleasant sticky feeling on their feet, causing the birds to leave the treated area. Or install a Bird Slope which simple creates an angled surface making it impossible for the birds to sit on the ledge without sliding off.

All of these bird control products are easy to install and will ultimately help you scare birds away from your property!

The eaves are a popular place for the pest bird to roost..  Pigeons are one such pest bird that can be bothersome around the home.  The best way to keep birds away is to apply effective bird exclusion products, products that will block the birds from a particular area.

The eaves are a very common area that pigeons and other pest birds like to roost, especially in winter months.  They like to roost and hide out in the eaves because it keeps them away from predators and away from the weather elements such as rain and wind.  Communal roosts are a bunch of birds that roost together.  This is fairly typical, and a good reason to have bird control products installed.

Roosting pigeons are notorious for leaving behind an excessive amount of droppings wherever they congregate.  It is not the only thing they will leave behind.  Bird droppings can harbor many different transmittable diseases.  Thankfully, there are options for getting rid of the roosting pigeons.

Bird spikes will block the pigeon from landing on roof tops, under eaves, and almost any flat or curved surface where they might roost.  Bird spikes are ideal for the pigeon, or any large pest bird.  The spikes create an uneven surface that the birds cannot land on.  Bird spikes, whether they are stainless steel or plastic, will not harm the pigeon.  They are safe and humane for all.  They are also virtually invisible when installed correctly.  The bird spikes come in strips with pre-drilled holes for easy application using screws, glue or ties.  Correct installation is making sure that there is no more than 1” left in front or behind the spikes when installing them.  You do not want to leave any room for the pigeons to perch or roost.

A bird gel can also be used to stop the birds from landing and roosting on a surface.  The transparent bird gel is ideal for under eaves as well as above entryways and beams and window sills.  The gel is non-toxic and can be applied just as caulking is applied.  The gel lasts up to 6 months outdoors and is effective at wide temperature extremes.

Both products can be used with visual bird deterrents that will also scare the birds away.  This makes it very effective in keeping the birds away from your property.

Home improvement projects can be as extensive as painting the house or as relaxing as planting new flowers.  There are hundreds of different projects that need doing.  One home improvement project that should not be forgotten is installing bird repellents.

Birds will find places around the home to roost in the colder months and nest in the spring.  One reasons for stopping them from doing this is because of the bid droppings.  The droppings will accumulate and become a health hazard, not to mention an very ugly and nasty sight to have to look at.

There are many cost effective bird repellent devices out on the market.  There are products that repel the birds by blocking them. Bird netting is a product that would block the birds.  It is an ideal solution for trees and plants, openings on the rooftops and patio covers as well as under the eaves of the home.  Properly installed bird netting is an impenetrable barricade against the pest birds from roosting and nesting.  Bird netting is strong and durable, yet light weight and easy to use, and it is very easily managed by the average homeowner.

Another type of bird repellent that keeps birds away is a non-toxic gel.  The gel is a sticky substance that the birds do not like.  The sensation on their feet is very uncomfortable and forces them to fly to another location to perch and roost.

Bird spikes are a very popular way to get rid of birds.  Bird spikes can be installed on any flat or curved surface such as eaves, ledges, backyard awnings and fence posts.  The spikes come in different widths and lengths to accommodate different areas and surfaces around the home.  Plastic bird spikes are a great fit for home use.  They come in an array of colors to match the structure they are being applied on.  They can be easily secured using glue, screws and can be tied down.

Harming birds does not need to happen.  Safe and humane choices such as spikes, gels and netting can be used that are safe for the pest birds themselves, and also the domestic animals.
 

Property managers are the ones who are ultimately responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the building.  It does not matter if it is a single dwelling, a strip mall or an entire two story mall.  What does matter is that you keep your tenants happy and help them be as successful as possible.  The bottom line is the profit margin.  There are many things you need to do that affect the profit margin.

One element that is totally at the hands of property managers and within their control is pest bird control.  Birds can be a huge nuisance and detriment to a business.  Tenants will be calling the property managers and maintenance team to fix this problem, but the key is making sure there is no problem to begin with.  It is much more cost effective to install bird deterrents before the birds take over the property.  If they are allowed to take over the property, they will roost and nest and there is a much bigger issue to deal with.

Bird droppings and nesting materials are unhealthy as well as ugly to look at.  It might appear that a bird’s nest would be fun to see being built, and fun to watch the baby birds, but knowing the result of this action will change your mind on how cute it is.

Bird droppings contain allergens and health hazards.  They are also highly corrosive and will damage buildings and machinery.  The droppings can also clog ventilation ducts, and drainage systems.  Unpleasant odors can permeate through the ventilation systems and ducts.  When disease infested droppings are breathed in, an incurable disease called histoplasmosis can occur.

The preventative method to make sure that the buildings do not encounter this problem is to install bird repellent products.  There is bird netting, plastic and stainless steel bird spikes, shock tracks and transparent bird gels that can be installed in various areas where the birds tend to flock to.  Rooftops are especially vulnerable and bird spikes are ideal to install to prevent them from landing in the area.  Bird netting or bird slopes are ideal for under eaves where the birds like to roost and nest and hide away from their predators.

The main objective is to install bird control products before you need them.

 

The most common birds can often times do the most damage around the home.  Take the common house sparrow, for instance.  Sparrows are everywhere.  You can easily spot the sparrow by its noisy flutter.  It also flies down from its roosting and perching areas.  Sparrows are scavengers like most birds.  They will hop around and eat any leftovers left on the grass or the patio area.   You will often times dine Al fresco with the sparrow.   You will see them around fast food restaurants and outside seating areas of various restaurants.  Sparrows chiefly eat fruits, garden plants and seeds, however.  These cute little things gather in large flocks and will congregate in a small area to get what they can.

The best way to deter the pesky bird around the home is to place bird control devices at places they most often roost, nest and peck.  Bird netting is one option that is a physical barrier and will keep the birds away and other pests as well.  Garden bird netting can be placed over plants and trees.  It can also protect the eaves, which is a notorious location for birds to roost and nest.  Bird netting will also protect balconies and other hidden away areas.  When installed correctly, the netting will be nearly invisible.  The aesthetic integrity of the home can be kept intact. 

If flat surfaces such as windowsills and ledges, pipes or I-beams are the trouble areas, bird gel can be placed on these flat areas.  Bird gel is a non-toxic substance that forms a sticky area for the birds.  The pest birds do not like this sticky substance on their feet and will move on to a more conducive roosting area. It aggravates the birds, but will not harm them in any way.  It is quick and easy to install, and fits all seasons and weather conditions.

The reason to deter pest birds is because of the bird droppings that accumulate.  These large flocks leave behind lots of droppings on the sidewalks, patios, grass and rooftop.  The droppings contain many diseases such as transmissible gastroenteritis and chlamydiosis, and histoplasmosis.  Not only are they unhealthy, but they are very damaging to structures such as your home and everything around it because of the acidic nature of the droppings.

Pairing a couple of bird control devices around the yard will save you money on repairs and time by not having to repair and replace paint and wood or whatever the bird droppings damage.

If your home is full of ledges and window sills where the birds perch, roost and poop, installation of bird control products is needed.  The reasons the birds are perching in these areas is because they are usually elevated areas where they can keep watch for their predators, look for nearby food sources, and get out of the weather elements.

This is all good, except they leave behind their hazardous bird droppings.  If bird droppings are allowed to accrue, this causes a lot of trouble.  It is not just the ugly appearance that you want to get rid of, it is the diseases and bugs that you want to make sure stay away from your home.

Zoonotic diseases are diseases that can be passed from animals to humans.  There are over 60 known diseases that can be transmitted from birds to humans.    The types of infectious agents the birds spread are protozoal, fungal, chlamydial, bacterial or viral.  The severities of which these diseases affect humans depend on a person’s age, health status, immunity status.  Many of the bacterial organisms are airborne, and can be infectious by inhaling fecal dust.

In order to eliminate these diseases from coming in contact with anyone in your home, bird pest control is needed around your home.  Keeping the windowsills clear of bird feces is especially important.  There are a few bird control products to choose from.  There are bird gels, slopes and spikes.

Bird gels are transparent.  This transparent gel is very sticky and it prevents birds from landing on horizontal surfaces, such as windowsills and ledges.  It works best for the larger pest bird like the pigeon and crow.  When the bird tries to land on the surface that is treated with the bird gel, they dislike the sticky sensation on their feet and they naturally move to a different location.  The gel can last up to 6 months outdoors and is effective from temperatures of 15 degrees to 200 degrees.

The bird slopes and bird spikes are a physical barrier that prevents birds from landing.  The bird slope is effective at keeping all bird species from landing where the bird spikes work better with the large pest birds.

The bird gel, slopes and spikes are all bird pest control products are easy to install and safe and humane for the birds.

Have food, they will come.  Who you might ask?  The birds come.  Can you imagine the impact birds have on a company whose focus is food production?  Birds will flock to this company faster than you can imagine.  And they do.  Countless food manufacturing sites have been fined because of the presence of birds.

Birds are even known to get inside the buildings.  They roost and nest up in the rafters and I-beams.  What is up must come down.  This is in reference to the bird feces.  There is a reason that their feces are called bird droppings.  They will drop right where the bird is perching.  In big box stores and grocery stores and even food storage facilities, this can create quite a problem and a costly one at that.

Prevention is the key.  Putting into place bird control products before there is a problem is cost effective.  There are many different products to choose from depending on the area that needs to be protected.  If there is an opening where the birds are getting into the facility, bird netting could close up that gap and block the birds’ access into the building.  Strong netting is needed.  On that that has been put through the ISO 1806 & 9001 Protocol Mesh Test.  This will guarantee its strength and durability.

Transparent bird gel is a sticky repellent that can be placed on horizontal surfaces where the birds land.  It is non-toxic and will not drip down into any machinery or flooring.  The reason it works is it creates a sticky surface that the birds cannot stand.  It can be applied with a caulking gun.  It can be easily applied to ledges, I-beams, parapet walls and on top of pipes.

There are many more bird control products to choose from that will keep the facility bird free and droppings free.
 

House sparrows are found just about everywhere, houses, businesses and many times at outside eateries.  The sparrow is easily recognized by its noisy flutter as it flies down from its perching and roosting areas.  House sparrows eat primarily fruits, seeds, grains and garden plants.  They will scavenge for any leftover food, hopping around and pecking at it. That is why you often see them surrounding the perimeter of outside eateries.  They can be quite aggressive and they compete for food from most native birds.  They congregate in large numbers over a smaller area this is why this cute little bird is known as a pest bird.

Getting rid of the sparrow means deterring them from places they like to peck, roost and nest.  The reason to deter them is to keep them from disseminating all kinds of diseases, such as chlamydiosis, salmonellosis and transmissible gastroenteritis and tuberculoses.  Sparrows and other pest birds are also carriers of internal parasites and household pests like bed bugs, fleas, ticks and lice. 

The bird droppings themselves can cause quite a disaster as well.  Bird droppings are very acidic and can corrode just about any material including wood, paint and even metals.  The costs each year pertaining to the damage caused by the pest birds is in the millions. 

By choosing just a couple from a multitude of bird control products, will save you not only money, but the time it would take to clean up the mess and replace the damage.  There are bird gels, bird netting and sonic units that will stop the birds from congregating on your property.

Bird Gel

Bird gel is a transparent, non-toxic, sticky substance that can be placed on any flat surface, indoor or outdoor, where the birds land.  It is ideal for ledges, parapet walls, signs, pipes and I-beams.  It works by creating a very sticky landing zone for the bird.  They will not like the sensation that the bird gel leaves on their feet, and they will move on to a more conducive perching area.  It will not harm the bird in any way; just aggravate them enough to get rid of birds.  The bird gel is virtually invisible and is quick and easy to install.  It is also effective in a wide degree of temperatures, so it fits all seasons.

Bird Netting

Bird netting is a physical bird barrier that will keep the sparrow and other pest birds away.  The bird netting keeps the sparrow out of places they want to build their nests such as eaves, balconies, and hidden away areas.  The mesh on the bird netting is virtually invisible so will not take away from the aesthetics of the building.  Bird netting is light weight and easily managed and installed.  The netting can be secured down using zip ties, twin or hog rings.  The bird netting simply blocks the birds out of the area.

Sound Deterrents

Sparrows can easily be persuaded from roosting, nesting and perching when a sound deterrent is in use.  Sound bird deterrents work by making the birds believe they are being invaded by a predator or that they are being warned with a distress call.  Sound deterrents broadcast distress and predator calls every few minutes to get rid of the sparrow that is in the immediate area.  The sound deterrents are easily programmed and made for outdoor use.

Bird deterrents never need to harm the birds.  There are many safe and humane ways to rid your home of pest birds, especially the sparrow, from your home and business.
 

What attracts pigeons to urban areas?  The availability of food and water and there is also plenty of free housing, window ledges and rooftops.  Pigeons are originally cliff-face dwellers, and in the city there are plenty of artificial cliffs and ledges that make wonderful nesting sites.

Pigeons like flat surfaces for roosting and nesting and they are not very particular about what they eat.  They try all foods even though they prefer seeds and grains.  Open garbage cans and even dog and cat food are among their available foods in the city. 

The conflict with the pigeon is not the nuisance of them eating and sleeping, it is that the pigeon droppings are unsightly and hazardous.  Coming into contact poses a health risk.  There is a disease caused by a fungus, histoplasmosis, which lives in the pigeon droppings.  When the droppings harden and become dust like, the fungus will be airborne and breathed in causing a terrible respiratory illness. 

Pigeon control becomes necessary when the pigeon starts to move onto your rooftops and window ledges.  Pigeon deterrents are needed to dissuade the pest bird from roosting and nesting.   If you notice the pigeon starting to move in, this is the perfect time for you to go out and evict them at once.

Before installing pigeon deterrents, do a good cleaning job in the area where their nesting materials were.  Also, cover all garbage cans and any other food sources and pockets of water. This will begin their need to move to another area to find their next meal.   

Transparent bird gel is a sticky bird pest control product that can be placed on the horizontal surfaces such as the windowsill.  The birds hate the stick substance and will fly away to find another area to land on.

Protecting the rooftop will ensure they move out instead of up from the windowsill.  Bird spikes placed on the rooftop will make it impossible for the pigeon to land.  Placing plastic bird spikes along the ledge of the roof will stop the birds from perching.

Pigeon deterrents work well.  Use them.

 

There are many people who do not care if there are birds in their yard.  Actually, there are some who try and lure the bird with bird baths and bird feeders.  But, if you are not one of those people and are disgusted with the bird mess that is accumulating, there are safe and humane bird control measures that will block the birds from making your home their bathroom.

Reasons to Keep Pest Birds Away

Besides the ugly mess that bird droppings create, there is health risks associated with the accumulated bird droppings.   Crows, for example, can be a huge problem.   They are a very intelligent bird species.  Even though pigeons, sparrows, geese and grackles can be a nuisance, crows can be especially destructive when they come into contact with humans and structures that are not built as bird houses.  Crows have been known to damage airports and planes, so imagine what they do around the home.  Crows cause tens of millions of dollars of damage every year to machinery, automobiles, roofs, ventilation systems and roofs.  The droppings are very acidic and eat away at many substrates.  The bird droppings can damage siding, insulation, air conditioning units to name only a few locations.  It is especially a serious situation if the pest bird builds nests in chimneys and ventilation systems.  This can cause the spread of disease and block the air-flow.  Bird droppings are host to over 60 different types of infectious diseases.  Get rid of the pest bird before it is difficult to get rid of the aftermath they can leave behind.

Bird Control Netting and Diverters

Bird control netting is a bird control measure that is put into place where the pest bird is known to roost and nest.  Pest birds can be a big disturbance not only in the home, but the garden as well.  A lot of pest birds are very social birds and will often flock to your trees. Bird netting as well as anti roosting bird control is necessary to protect fruit trees, garden plants and building structures. 

Bird control netting on trees, bushes and garden plants is a solution that places the obstruction between the pest bird and your prize.  Bird netting is made from a U.V. protected polypropylene making it weather and sun resistant, effective and easy to install.  It is a versatile means of blocking a variety of pest birds as you can use a smaller mesh for your blueberry bushes, yet a larger mesh for tomato or zucchini plants.  It is practically invisible to the human eye and will not upset the aesthetics or functionality of the yard.  Placing bird control netting with scare diverters will protect against various species of pest bird.  Scare diverters over time might not actually scare the crow.  They adjust very easily to visual deterrents.  A mixing and matching of different bird control products is suggested with the crow.  Some birds, however, can be deterred easily with just scare diverters.  These pest bird diverters work for large and small pest birds.  They can be hung in fruit trees.  They can be placed sporadically around the yard using a simple wooden post or dowel with the diverters hanging from twine.  The movement of the light weight diverters with its shiny reflective surface and mock predator eye is what scares the birds away.  It is a very humane way to keep the birds away from the area.

There are also predator eye scare balloons that can be places strategically around like the scare diverters.  The scare balloons can be hung on the sides of the home, overhangs, balconies and patios.  Just like the diverters, the scare balloons have the design on the side that the bird believes to be a predator’s eye.  The bright colors and shiny surface confuse and frighten the bird and they will want to keep away from the areas where the scare balloons are placed. 

Bird Gel, Bird Slopes and Bird Spikes

Bird control products that help keep the pest bird from hiding away, building a nest and roosting are transparent bird gel and bird slopes.  The transparent bird get is a non-toxic substance that the birds cannot stand the sensation of.  They will be forced to move on to a different area to roost and perch.  Bird gel is ideal for locations such as ledges, eaves, beams and any horizontal surface where the pest bird may want to land. It is easy to apply using a caulking gun.  It will not harm any domestic animals or humans. 

Another safe option is the bird slope.  This anti-roosting and anti-perching deterrent will encompass most species of birds.  Bird slops can be placed under the eaves of the home where pest birds like to tuck their nests away.  It creates a “slippery slope” and birds will not be able to land on the surface, nor build their nests on them, therefore creating a secure barrier. 

Bird spikes are a successful way to get rid of the pest bird around your yard and structures.  They will prevent the larger pest birds like crows, seagulls and pigeons from landing where bird spikes are applied.  They work by creating an uneven surface that the birds cannot land on.  They will be forced to move on to more desirable location.  Bird spikes, when installed correctly, are virtually invisible.  They are placed on fence lines, rooftops, beams, under eaves and ledges.  The surface can be flat or curved.  There are stainless steel, plastic and spikes that are made specifically for the gutters of the home.  Plastic bird spikes come in various colors to match the structures.  There is white, tan, brick red, black and gray.  They are easily tied, screwed or glued into place. When the bird spikes are secure, so will your backyard vegetation. The pest bird will not be able to perch and look for their next food source which would have been your garden.

All the bird control products that are humane and safe for the pest bird, as well as the humans that may come in contact with them, are very versatile and will be successful in blocking and deterring the pest bird from staying around where he is not wanted.

It can be an unwelcome site.  Walking up to your favorite tucked away coffee joint and seeing the sign that says, “Beware of Nesting Birds – High Activity - May Fly Low and Near You”.  For many, the coffee house is the first sign of civilization that is seen in the morning.  First words uttered of the day for many is, “Grande Latte, non-fat, extra shot”.  Last thing needed is the morning coffee ritual interrupted by birds flying in front of you and startling you before you have had your morning coffee! 

Nest building takes time and requires demanding activity of the bird.  Nests provide concealment from predators, shelter from rain, support and insulation.  The nesting habits of each species have evolved over time and are matched to the climate, size, habitat and amount of threat by predators.  Many coffee houses place themselves in little nooks in strip malls where there is a lot of greenery.  This enhances a relaxing environment for people to sit comfortably and enjoy their coffee in a nice tranquil surrounding.  For the birds, it gives them what they want as well which is a quiet little nook to build their nests.  Birds will become angry and quite active when they think their nests are at risk.

For coffee joint owners it is important to watch for early bird activity and to be proactive in setting up bird control before nesting happens.  Once there are nests with eggs, it is illegal to remove them.  The bird nests are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.  Birds are smart.  If the coffee joint has been bird proofed they will find another little nook or cranny elsewhere to start their nesting process. 

There are many options for protecting the outdoor dining area.  First look for the possible roosting areas that birds will flock to.  This is an area where the bird temporarily sleeps and rests and the place they perch and wait for someone to drop a piece of bagel on the ground.  If the building has eaves, canopies and awnings this is one typical place they will roost and perch.  These areas can be protected with bird spikes or even a simple bird gel.

Bird spikes create an uneven landing surface that the birds will not like.  Bird spikes can be placed on flat or curved surfaces.  They can be easily screwed into place or glued down or even tied down.  Bird spikes come in varying widths to accommodate just about any space requirement.  As opposed to stainless steel bird spikes, plastic bird spikes come in many colors to give that extra invisibility factor.  Bird spikes, however, when installed properly, are virtually invisible.  Patrons will not even know they are there. 

Instead of bird spikes, or in unison with bird spikes, transparent bird gel is another option to look at. Transparent bird gel is a non-toxic, sticky substance that creates a very sticky sensation on the bird’s feet and they will not want to be where the gel is placed.  Much like the aftermath of a soda spilled in the movie theater, it is just uncomfortable to be stepping in it. Bird gel is a quick fix.  It can be applied on the surface quick and easily, similar to how a caulking gun works.  It is effective for many weather conditions from 15 degrees to 200 degrees F.  Once applied, it lasts up to 6 months.

Once all the roosting and perching spots are protected, it would not hurt to protect the shrubs and trees that may be right outside the door and over the eating areas.  A type of visual scare tactic would be very practical for this type of location.  The pest birds are perching and roosting looking around for the perfect nesting area.  The visual scare diverter would keep the birds away for good.  The shiny reflective surface of the bird diverter along with the mock predator eye imprinted on the side is what gets rid of the pest bird and keeps the bird away.    Both the shiny surface and the mock predator eye design work together to appeal to the bird’s visual senses.  The bird diverters are not invisible but may just add a decorative touch to the shrubbery.  The design is only about the size of a large pomegranate, so they are not distracting at all.  Only to the birds!

There are more reasons coffee house owners will want to keep the pest birds away.  More importantly than scaring a patron before they have had their coffee, are the hazards that the pest bird’s droppings contain.  Birds and their droppings, especially when they are allowed to accumulate, are riddled with diseases.  Over 60 different transmittable diseases have been recorded.  Many of the diseases are airborne when the droppings dry and are disturbed.  This can happen when simply sweeping the dried white hazardous material away.  The diseases are carried airborne and the spores can get into the nasal passages where the diseases then develop within the body.  New bird droppings are equally as dangerous but in a different way.  Many slip and fall accidents have been documented due to the fresh, wet and slippery bird droppings on the ground.   Every business owner cringes at the thought about the liability and costs of such an incident happening. 

One last reason to get rid of pest birds and keep them away is the damage the bird droppings can cause to the building itself.  Bird droppings are very acidic and can corrode just about any type of surface, including cement, canvas, wood and paint.  Millions of dollars is spent each year repairing and replacing the damage that the pest birds cause.  Implementing a couple of low cost bird proofing products around the coffee joint will ensure a peaceful experience to the customers and peace of mind to the business owner and managers.  

Before bird control products can be put into place, cleaning up any bird droppings that have already accumulated is what needs to happen first.  The reason that clean up is so crucial is because not only are the bird droppings unsightly, but the droppings and any nesting materials can be quite hazardous to one’s health.  It is especially important to clean up the bird debris if the droppings come into contact with employees or customers of a business. 

One hazard for a business is new bird droppings.  They can be very slippery whether they are on the grass or a cement area.  There are many documented slip and fall incidences due to fresh bird droppings that were not cleaned up.  Bird droppings also harbor various fungal diseases, parasite and insects, including bed bugs.  A broad spectrum hospital grade cleaner is what is needed to clean the droppings effectively.  Using a broad spectrum hospital grade cleaner will also deodorize as well as disinfect.  Using an EPA approved disinfectant will fight over 100 various diseases, viruses, yeasts, molds and bacterial.

When cleaning up bird droppings and nesting materials, using necessary precaution to protect oneself is advised.   It is important to cover the nose and mouth, along with clothing.  There are lung diseases that are transmittable through the dust that is formed when the droppings are disturbed.  It helps to wet down the droppings and old unused nests, leaving the cleaner on for approximately ten minutes.  This helps lessen the movement of the dust particles in the air. 

Warehouse workers, maintenance supervisors and business owners can all easily install bird control products themselves.  The eaves of the buildings are notorious for birds hiding out and roosting and building their nests away from predator’s eyes.  A bird slope installed under the eave where there is a 90-degree area will make it impractical for the birds to land.  This physical bird deterrent will work on just about every species of pest birds.  The bird slope is made out of U.V. protected PVC material and is made for outdoor us and is weather resistant.

Bird spikes are another type of bird deterrent that will keep the birds from landing.  The bird spikes create an uneven surface which prevents the birds from settling in and getting comfortable.  They work under eaves and they also work well on rooftops, window sills, fence lines, and canopies, just about any flat or curved surface.  Stainless steel bird spikes are durable and rugged and when applied correctly do not need to be seen by anyone on the ground.  They are virtually invisible.  Plastic bird spikes are also a low profile bird deterrent.  The plastic bird spikes come in a variety of colors to aid in their blending in to the structure they are applied to. 

What also works well to protect areas such as ledges, parapet walls, I-beams, signs, conduit and pipes is a simple transparent gel that deters the pest birds.  Transparent bird gel is a substance that can be used on any horizontal surface.  It is a non-toxic gel that will annoy and repel the birds.  They will not be able to stand the sticky sensation on their feet and will fly off to find a more comfortable landing area.

Purchasing bird control products from a trustworthy bird control company will ensure contact and guidance from professional installers should instruction be needed.  There is a solution to the pest bird problems that lurk, and it is bird control installation.  You cannot afford not to have it.

Birds are predictable creatures.  They perch, roost, nest and poop.  It is even predictable to determine where they will do this behavior.  Most people may think that high buildings where birds roost and nest is not doing anyone any harm.  Let the birds do “their thing”.  But, in actuality, there is harm being done.

Bird poop is damaging.  From the ground, these tall buildings may look strong and magnificent.  But upon close inspection of the elaborate structures, the urban menace is probably lurking.  Pigeon droppings are on window ledges, sides of buildings, roofs and even all the way down to the walkways.  These noxious deposits are not only unattractive, but can pose a much greater threat than aesthetics. 
Pigeon poop is a very corrosive substance.  Pest bird poop, in general, is highly acidic in nature.  As an example, a 40-year-old bridge, which crosses the Mississippi river in Minnesota, collapsed during rush hour traffic.  According to an officer with the health and safety division of the American Chemical Society, the collapse was due to structural weaknesses brought on by the buildup of pigeon poop over a period of time.  Over 100 commuters were injured and thrown into the river.   Take this information and bring it over to a high rise building.  The potential devastation that is possible is frightening. 

How do you keep the pigeon and other pest birds from defacing and damaging the building?  One easy way is to zap them.  Initially, this sounds harmful and mean.  But there is actually a very safe and humane way to go about it.  There is a very discreet way to deter the birds using a “flat track” that measures no more than ¼” high at its very highest point.  This flat track is an electrical track bird deterrent system that zaps the pest bird with a mild electrical shock when the bird lands on its surface.  This small electrical zap will not harm the birds in any way.  It simply gives them a very mild shock that gets rid of the birds and keeps the birds away.  Birds are very smart creatures.  They will want to stay away from the building at all costs.

The system is powered by an A.C. charger or solar charger.  The flat track comes in 100 ft. rolls and can be glued down to virtually any surface.  It is extremely flexible and can bend 360 degrees without compromising the integrity of the system.  It is lightweight and easily managed and installed.  Most importantly, it is water proof.  Adding to its very low profile design, it comes in various colors; grey, black, stone and terracotta.  The flat track is patented with an “Anti-Arching” design adding to the safety of the bird deterrent product.  It is made of a U.V. protected PVC base which makes it flexible for use on curved surfaces as well as straight surfaces.   Ideal for rooflines, ledges, parapet walls, I-beams.  The flat track can even be placed on signs and light fixtures. 

Another type of very low profile bird repellent would be a transparent bird gel.  A transparent bird gel is a non-toxic, sticky substance that can be used on pipes, conduit, I-beams, parapet walls and ledges.  It can be used on any vertical surface where the pest bird is landing and pooping.  The transparent bird gel is effective against small and large birds.  Installation is a breeze and you simple using the 10 oz. caulking tube it comes in to place it where needed.  It will last up to six months outdoors.  It would be very simple for high rise window washers to add this to the window ledges when they are cleaning the windows.   Birds will hate it, but those inside the windows will love it.  They will no longer have to look at the nasty bird droppings, but instead their wonderful view of the city.  Transparent bird gel is a very cost effective means of keeping the birds off the window sills. 

On the highest rooftop is where there is definitely a need to keep the pest birds off the building. On the rooftop is where all the vents and exhaust pipes come out.  This is a vulnerable area and where the pest bird likes to build nests.  They like to hide in the tubing which is hiding away from their predators.  It is important that the pest bird not be able to get in these areas.  The bird poop is not only corrosive and damaging, but very dangerous to humans as well.  If the bird poop were allowed to accumulate and then enter the air conditioning and heating vents, disaster could strike people inside the buildings.  After the bird droppings have hardened, they become dust like.  In that dust like material are spores that harbor transmissible diseases that can be transmitted to humans.  Histoplasmosis and Cryptococcosis is just a couple of the lung diseases that can be detrimental to humans.  Inhaling the dusk like substances will cause mild symptoms such as fever and muscle aches toward much worse symptoms leading to death.  The bird nest debris also brings along insects, mites and even bed bugs.  Bird proof netting or bird spikes can be installed across the openings to prevent the pest bird from nesting in such openings.

Bird deterrent options are numerous.  Building maintenance workers, managers and building owners are wise to educate themselves in the various ways to protect the building and the people inside.  Bird control products are diverse and there is a solution to every pest bird problem.

Bird control is a relevant home improvement weekend project that is needed more and more these days.  As the birds’ natural habitats are less and less, the incursion of pest birds becomes an issue with most home builders and owners.  Bird control is an effective method to avoid intrusion of birds in unwanted areas.  Bird repellent control is a way to safely discourage birds from roosting and pooping on and around the home.

There are a large number of cost effective bird control products on the market these days.  There are bird deterrent netting, bird repellent and bird spikes that can be installed to handle just about any pest bird problem around the home.

Bird Deterrent Netting

Bird deterrent netting is a bird control solution ideal for trees and plants, eaves and openings on rooftops and patio covers.  Properly installed bird control netting is an impenetrable barrier against the pest bird from perching and roosting. It is virtually invisible and will keep your fruit trees and berries protected.  Bird deterrent netting can also be used in the eaves of the hope to keep the pest birds from roosting in the hidden away, dry places.  It is easy to use the netting for all crevices that the pest bird is searching for.  The bird deterrent netting is lightweight, strong and durable, and very easily managed by the average homeowner.

Bird Repellent

Bird repellent gel is a non-toxic gel.  The birds do not like the sensation of the sticky substance and it is uncomfortable for the pest bird to land where it is applied.  It can be used on trees and shrubs safely.  It can also be used on ledges, window sills and under eaves. The bird repellent gel comes in a caulking tube and is simple to apply.  It will last 2 seasons, up to 6 months outdoors.

Bird Spikes

Bird deterrent spikes are an effect bird control product for any flat or curved surface.  This includes backyard awnings, eaves, ledges, light posts and fences.  Bird deterrent spikes come in different lengths and widths to accommodate various areas and surfaces.  There are plastic spikes that come in a variety of colors to match the structure they are placed on.  There are also stainless steel bird deterrent spikes that will match the light posts.  Bird deterrent spikes are installed using glue, screws and ties.  Bird deterrent spikes are quite effective eliminating the comfortable surface for the pest bird to land on. 

There are choices in safe and humane bird control products that will not harm the pest bird, domestic animals or humans.  Not having a bird deterrent system in order is risky.   Pest bird damage to property and health can be extensive.  If droppings are allowed to accumulate, there are many fungal, bacterial and viral diseases that can be contracted by coming into contact and breathing in the dust of the bird droppings. The financial threat of the acidic droppings is the corrosion and need to repaint and replace wood, concrete and even steel.  Peace of mind will be your most valued return when bird deterrent products are put in place.

Fall and winter months are the perfect time to bird proof the home.  The baby birds from spring have left the nest, and the pest birds are searching for that perfect roosting spot to start the whole cycle over.  Bird deterrent action must be done when there are no young birds in the nest.  Most birds, pests or not, are protected under the law, and it is prohibited to disturb active nests.  The idea of birds making a home on your property may seem charming, but the damage to property and health from pest birds’ nests and droppings can be fairly detrimental.  Making installation of bird deterrent products a priority will ensure the wellbeing of the household as well as the home and structures around the home.

A key reason for bird deterrent proofing the home is to keep the family healthy.  Birds that have been allowed to nest accumulate a build-up of viruses, bacteria and fungal matter from the bird’s droppings.  The best way to do away with this problem is to stop the nesting before it starts.  Determine areas that are prone to nesting birds.  The backyard patio is a known area that is susceptible to roosting birds. The patio roof is a great place to mount a solar bird deterrent repeller.  The bird deterrent repeller can be mounted on either angled or straight surfaces very easily.  It scares the pest birds away from the area by the continual movement of the long telescoping rods which have iridescent red foil flash tape at the ends of the rods.  The constant sweeping movement does not harm the pest bird, but distracts them from making the backyard patio their winter refuge.  The red foil flash tape also frightens the birds away from the area and can be tied to the patio cover, or a nearby tree or bush creating the perfect optical distraction zone.

Another frequent area for birds to roost is under the eaves near the front entry way or in the rain gutters.  It is very important to take action to avoid carrying any droppings that the pest birds leave upon the entry walkway.  Shoes can pick up the droppings and the bird droppings can be carried into the home.  Breathing in the fungal spores from disturbed nests and droppings can be quit detrimental to one’s health.  Upper respiratory ailments such as Histoplasmosis are quite dangerous.  A very easy and economical way to keep the eaves free of roosting birds is the use of bird slopes and transparent bird gel.  Both bird deterrent solutions create an extremely uncomfortable landing spot for the bird.  The bird slope creates a “slippery slope” that birds cannot land on.  Installation is quick and the bird deterrent slopes can be painted to match the exterior of your home.  A transparent bird gel creates a very sticky surface which birds hate.  The gel is virtually invisible and is non-toxic to people, domestic animals and the pest bird.

Installation of gutter bird spikes will keep the gutters free from the possibility of the birds building their nests there.  After clearing out any debris from the gutters, just connect the spikes by using clips. Taking these precautions during fall and winter will save you time and hassle once spring rolls around again, and you are outside enjoying a family barbeque.  Cleaning up the area after a pest bird has made his home would be much more labor intensive.  The structural damage to the home from the uric acid released from the bird’s droppings would also be more expensive to repair and take much more time than installing proven bird deterrent methods such as solar bird deterrents and bird repellent gels and bird repellent slopes. 

House Sparrows are a very common pest bird.  Groups of them are usually visible whenever you see gardens, house roofs or gutters.  These pest birds, and their numbers, are a considerable cause for concern.  They have adapted to living together with Man in both rural and urban settings. House sparrows are opportunists that will look for any man-made nook or cranny in which to build their nests.  House sparrows tend to flock together most seasons, but even more so in the winter.

The house sparrow is quick to take advantage of any area where its three basic needs of food, housing and shelter are provided.  Destruction of roosting and nesting sites is one approach to solving a sparrow problem. Total removal of shrubs or even trees is an effective but extreme measure.  There is no need for such severe measures when protecting your home against the unwanted invader can be successful using very easily applied bird deterrent methods.

Bird proof netting can be applied to fruit trees and gardens.  During winter months, when some fruit trees may be dormant, is a good time to install bird proof netting.  In winter, the male sparrow is more apt to claim his nesting site, even before he chooses a mate.  Bird proof netting over trees and bushes is a low profile means of deterring the pest sparrow from roosting or nesting.  The bird netting blends in with the plants and is virtually invisible.  Bird netting is a light weight physical bird deterrent that simply acts as a barrier which blocks the birds from the area.  It can be used in garages, sheds, balconies and eaves as well.  If there is a nook and cranny that needs to be protected, bird proof netting can be temporarily installed and secured using a staple gun or bird netting clips.

Another low profile bird deterrent for the sparrow is a bird gel.  Bird gels are sticky and transparent.  It is a non toxic substance that sparrows and most other birds do not like. Bird gel creates a very sticky, uncomfortable landing spot which gives the pest birds no choice by to fly on past.  The bird gel can be used on any ledge, under eaves, window sills, any vertical surface where the pest sparrow would perch and roost.  Using integrated bird control with both bird proof netting and transparent bird gel will guard against perching, roosting and netting at the same time.

For larger areas, when the pest sparrow is a nuisance such as a large backyard with lots of ground where the sparrow is seen in droves picking in the grass for seed, an outdoor sound device would be very beneficial.  The sonic outdoor sound devices are designed to deter pest birds from large open spaces. House sparrows are very vocal birds, especially when in groups.  They can be argumentative and will fight each other over scraps of food.  For a small bird, they have rather big voices, and not an especially musical one.  The sonic sound device can be programmed to play the sparrow’s distress and predator calls.  The calls merely alert the birds of danger and their natural instinct of fight or flight comes out and they fly away from the area.

Bird control products do not have to be destructive to the bird or property.  Bird control methods can blend into the environment and safely get rid of the pest birds near your home.
 
 
 
 

Bird troubles at home can be a real bother; fruit on trees and bushes being eaten before you can pick them and bird droppings all over your front walkway and backyard patio.  To solve a bird problem effectively, the species of bird must first be determined.  Sometimes the only determination needed is if the problem bird is a small bird or a larger bird.

The House Sparrow is a very common bird found in most neighborhoods.   They are classified as a smaller bird.  Do not let their smaller size fool you.  They are quite an aggressive migratory pest bird.  This pest bird is known to threaten and attack many other native birds in the area.  These noisy problem birds congregate in large flocks and can be quite troublesome.  Their nests are known to cause flooding and backups in gutters and drainage pipes.

Pigeons are also common around many homes.  They are the most common urban pest bird there is.  This larger sized bird can cause quite a mess where they roost causing damage to any structure they roost on.  They are known to nest in flat areas away from the ground.  Ledges, window sills and air conditioning units are common places for the pest pigeon nests.  Bird control products such as bird netting,  bird gel as well as bird spikes and bird slopes can keep both the smaller bird and larger bird away from your property.

Bird Netting

Polypropylene bird netting is durable netting that can be placed over fruit trees and garden plants.  This low profile bird control product prevents all bird species from having access to the desirable fruits and vegetables.  Bird netting is a bird deterrent that is virtually invisible.  The birds, however, will view this lightweight netting as a very strong physical barrier.

Bird Gel

Bird gel is a transparent bird deterrent that works for both small and large pest birds.  It can be used on any vertical surface the birds roost; ledges, signs, pipes and beams.  The transparent bird gel causes a non-toxic sticky surface that any bird would absolutely hate.  It creates a very uncomfortable spot to land which will cause them to move to another location.

Bird Spikes and Bird Slopes

Bird spikes and gutter spikes can be extremely effective on larger pest birds.  Gutter spikes will keep the birds from building nests and clogging the gutters and drains.  They are very quick and easy to install.  It simply creates an un-even surface that the birds cannot land on.  Bird control solutions like bird spikes, whether it is plastic or stainless steel, will keep the nuisance birds away from rooflines, ledges, eaves, windowsills and awnings.  There are multiple areas around the home that would benefit in having bird spikes installed.  The birds spikes are virtually invisible so do not worry about looking like your home is a guarded fortress.  It will be guarded, but the only ones who will know it are you and the birds.

There are many effective and economical bird control solutions for deterring birds from unwanted areas.  Bird control products can be humane.  Bird control systems are safe for the feathered pests and all humans.

 

Fall is upon us.  Temperatures are dropping.  The leaves turn to beautiful colors.  Fall also brings out larger flocks of birds including the birds and their young that have nested in summer.  Fall is also a peak migration time.  Those who are bird watchers may stock their backyards with seed and water and have late blooming flowers to attract migrating birds to their yards.  Others will become annoyed with the birds in their yards.  Do not hesitate to install humane bird deterrent systems.

If you want to get rid of the pest bird, first thing to do is determine what species of bird is in the area.  Fall is the perfect time to clean up any debris the nesting bird has left behind.  Since it is illegal to remove most nests while birds are still in them, removing nests in fall is advised.   It is very possible the young have matured.  Watching a known nest over a period of a day or two can determine if it is empty.  The key is to not be too passive on this as you don’t want a new nest to get started.

Preparing for Bird Control Installation

Cleaning up any bird debris is advised before you put into place any bird control, whether it is a physical bird deterrent, visual or sound bird deterrent or bird repellent.  A high potency disinfectant and cleaner should be used when cleaning up areas that are dirty with bird droppings.  Microcide SQ is a disinfectant that is effective against over 100 disease causing mold, yeast, bacteria and virus.  Bird droppings that have accumulated are known to contain these problems.   It is also very important to protect yourself from the spores that are released into the air from the droppings.  This is how the diseases can be transferred to humans.  The spores are inhaled, which can cause very serious respiratory conditions such as Histoplasmosis, a respiratory or blood illness caused by a fungus.

Another important reason to get rid of the bird dropping mess is it can cause damage to most structures, including metals.  The bird droppings are very acidic and can be quite corrosive.  Awnings, roofs and other structures have been known to cave in from the weight of the bird droppings as well as the corrosion.

Bird Control Options

Physical bird deterrents are needed to keep birds from landing on an area or to block them out of an area.  Bird spikes and bird slopes are good examples of bird control products that block the birds from landing where they most commonly roost and nest.  Bird spikes are very effective for larger pest birds such as pigeons, crows, and gulls.  When placed on ledges, eaves, windowsills and even awnings and canopies, the bird control spikes deter the large birds from landing on the area.  They will simply fly on by and look for a better place to land.  Plastic bird spikes come in a variety of colors so they will not disrupt the aesthetic appeal of the home.   They are virtually invisible, yet the birds will clearly see them.  Bird slopes work relatively the same way as bird spikes.  The bird slopes block ledges, eaves and I-beams, any ledge that meets a 90 degree angle.  The bird slopes, however, are effective for all species of birds, not just the larger species.  If sparrows or grackles are in the area, bird slopes will prevent them from roosting and nesting under the eaves of the home, a common place for them to go to.  The slanted bird slope creates a “slippery slope” making it very uncomfortable and impossible for the birds to land on the surface.  Both bird spikes and bird slopes are easily installed by any homeowner.

Visual and sound bird deterrents work a bit differently. Sound bird deterrents are a sound device that works best in large open spaces.  Bird sound deterrents have many different species of birds programmed within the unit to accommodate most pest birds that would need deterring, such as pigeons, woodpeckers, starlings, crows and grackles to only name a few.  The sonic bird deterrent broadcasts, through speakers, distress and predator calls every ten minutes.  This scares the pest birds away.  Their natural instincts of “fight or flight” kick in and they simply take flight.  A sound bird deterrent is the latest technology in pest bird control.

Visual bird deterrents such as flash tape, balloons and diverters work the same way.  They scare the pest birds away.  Flash tape works well keeping the birds away from fruit trees, balconies and gardens.  It can be attached to posts and planted in the garden or hung from the tree branches or the balcony.  The flash tape has a shiny reflective surface that frightens and confuses the bird.  It also creates a crinkling sound in the breeze that aggravates the birds.  The balloons and diverters also scare the birds, but they have a unique design on its reflective surface which makes the birds believe they are face to face with a predator, causing that “fight or flight” natural response to flee the area.

Bird repellents work by utilizing the birds’ senses to smell, touch and taste.   There is an advanced hazing system that works by releasing a fine mist into the air.  This bird control option is also effective against all species of birds.  It can be used in semi enclosed areas such as the garage or patio as well as outdoors in the yard.  The mist is made up of methyl anthranilate, a grape extract.   The birds do not like the extract.  It irritates their senses and causes them to fly immediately away from the area.  Bird control misters can be programmed to go off at the homeowner’s convenience.

Transparent bird gel is also non-toxic, but a gel that you place on horizontal surfaces.  This gel will keep the pest birds from landing on ledges, roof lines and pipes.  It works against the bird’s sense of touch.  The birds cannot stand the sticky sensation on their feet.  They do not “stick” around to roost or nest.

Each bird control product has a designated area and designated pest bird that it works against.   Fall is the most opportune time to put into place a bird control system that works for your home environment.  Putting this bird control system into place during fall will ensure that the pest birds will not hide from the winter weather in and around your home.

Drinking coffee and reading the morning paper out on the patio is a beautiful way to start a warm summer weekend.  It is until you spot the filth from the pest bird.  Pest birds have obviously been roosting and perching in the backyard.  What they leave behind is their filthy bird droppings.  It may also be noticed that any vegetable plants or berry bushes have been pecked at by these same birds.

Fortunately, there are solutions to this scenario.  Simple putting into place a few simple additions to any outdoor space will cause the pest birds to leave the area.  There are bird barriers, visual bird deterrents and bird repellents that can be put into place allowing your backyard sanctuary to be bird free.

Bird Barriers

Bird barriers are what it sounds like, something that will bar, or block, the bird from a particular area.  Bird droppings on the patio furniture will often mean the birds are perching and roosting on your patio coverings.  This is especially troublesome if the covering is a slotted wood covering.  Bird barriers are one of the most effective bird deterrents.  Putting into place a bird barrier such as bird spikes around the ledge of the patio covering will get rid of the bird from perching and roosting in that area.  Plastic bird spikes are made out of polycarbonate and come in a variety of colors to match the area in which they are placed.  They are virtually invisible, but the birds will definitely notice them and not be able to land on the surface.  They are especially effective for larger pest birds such as the crow, gulls and pigeons.  They are quite cost effective and are a successful solution for keeping the larger pest birds from landing on any flat or curved surface in the backyard.

Visual Bird Barriers

The bird spider is both a visual and physical bird deterrent.  This bird control product works by scaring away the larger pest birds.  The bird spider is great for areas such as skylights and rooftops.  It is especially effective on boats, boat covers and docks.  Any concentrated area where pest birds are an annoyance.   The way they scare the nuisance bird away is by the bounce of the bird spider’s “arm.”  From the base of the bird control unit come 2’ to 8’ diameter “arms.”  In the breeze they bounce and rotate causing a distraction and an uncomfortable environment for the pest bird.

Bird Repellents

In conjunction with the bird spikes and bird spider, a bird repellent can be used on outside window ledges, trees, fences and bushes.  Bird repellent is a non-toxic liquid gel that can be sprayed on the problem areas.   Birds will not like the sticky sensation on their feet when they land on a treated area.  This simply forces them to fly to another location. The tacky substance does not harm birds, domestic animals or people.  It is effective for small as well as large pest birds.  It will not harm or kill plants.

Getting rid of the pest birds in your backyard does not only benefit the comfort you are creating, but also it is imperative for health reasons.  Messy bird droppings are not just unsightly, but are dangerous to one’s health.   Bird droppings can cause serious respiratory problems in humans if spores from the droppings are disturbed and the dust is breathed in.  Bird droppings are also very acidic and can cause damage to wood, paint and metals.  As Benjamin Franklin so profoundly quoted, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”    Prevent the pest bird from wreaking havoc on your property by installing a bird control system that has been proven to work.
