Bird Control Products

A bird becomes a pest when it decides it wants to roost, nest or land where people do not want them.  Each year building mainenace and home owners spend thousands of dollars cleaning up after pest birds.  The most common pest birds in North America are pigeons, woodpeckers, seagulls, sparrows, starlings and geese.

When pest birds such as pigeons, sparrows and gulls are landing and roosting on businesses and leaving behind damage and droppings, bird control products are necessary. With such products as bird spikes, bird netting, electronic bird shock systems and bird sonic systems, birds can be stopped from landing, roosting and nesting.

Products to Get Rid of Birds:

Bird spikes - are plastic or stainless steel spike strips used to keep larger birds like pigeons and gulls from landing and roosting. They are effective on roof edges and peeks, parapet walls, window sills, ledges and other flat surfaces. Bird spikes should be installed over the entire surface to be protected. Often if the birds get an inch of free space, they will be able to land and use the spikes as nesting areas.

Bird spikes are easily installed with glue or screws. They come in 1 to 2 foot sections that are handy for quick installation. The spikes are a long lasting, inexpensive and effective bird control product.

Bird Netting - is used to exclude pest birds from areas that they are causing damage and leaving droppings behind. Use netting to keep pest birds out of airline hangars, warehouses, food processing facilities and other large open areas.

Installing bird netting is best left to the professionals.  There are a lot of variables in bird net installations.  Maintenance professionals should contact a pest control operator to get a quote on a bird netting installation.

Electric Shock Systems - are electrified tracks that give birds a small "jolt" when they touch the track.  This "jolt" causes the birds to change thier habits and choose another place to land, roost or nest.
