Bird Control

INTRODUCTION TO BIRD CONTROL

HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY BIRD CONTROL IS IMPORTANT

Birds, bird droppings and nesting materials carry transmittable diseases and ectoparasites. Bird droppings are highly acidic and can stain and corrode building materials. Birds can contaminate food production and inventory when they nest in warehouses. Regular cleanup of bird droppings can cost businesses thousands of dollars every year. Bird nests can clog drains and pose a fire risk near lighting or other features. Bird droppings can be a liability by creating a slip and fall risk. The longer birds can nest or roost in an unwanted area; the harder it will be to get them to leave. It’s important to take a proactive approach when dealing with pest birds. In the long run, it can save you time and money.

AFFECTS & RISKS

HEALTH RISK

INVENTORY DAMAGE

Birds, bird droppings and nesting materials can carry 60 different diseases and ectoparasites that can be passed to humans and animals. If dried bird droppings are found near ventilation systems, they can travel through buildings potentially infecting inhabitants with compromised immune systems.

INVENTORY DAMAGE

Droppings can damage products and contaminate production lines. Birds can often be found nesting or perching on rafters in warehouses and storage facilities. Bird droppings present in such areas may violate health codes.

POOR IMAGE

INVENTORY DAMAGE

POOR IMAGE

Bird droppings and nests are an unattractive feature for homes and businesses. Birds on a ledge or sign, or droppings covering a sidewalk may send a message to visitors that the business is careless.

COST

PROPERTY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Businesses that clean up after birds on a daily or weekly basis are wasting money and exposing employees to health risks. Some businesses spend thousands of dollars each year on the regular cleanup of bird droppings. Installing bird control products can save businesses time and money.

PROPERTY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Bird droppings may render machinery or equipment inoperable or may require regular clean up so operators are not exposed. Droppings are highly acidic and can corrode buildings materials and stain fabrics. These will need restoration or complete replacement once damaged.

HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS

PROPERTY & EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS

Pest birds and droppings found in food processing plants, restaurants, storage facilities or other areas may violate health codes resulting in fines, legal action or closures. Birds are considered a pest and need the same type of consideration as say cockroaches or rats.

WORK STOPPAGES

SLIP & FALL RISK

Employees should not work in areas that are unsafe due to an accumulation of bird droppings. Bird droppings carry disease and affect those with weakened immune systems. If an employee becomes sick due to an ignored bird problem, the business will most likely be liable.

SLIP & FALL RISK

Bird droppings can be slippery. If a customer or employee falls they may sue the building owner or property manager. A man in New York City was awarded $6 million dollars in 2006 from the city after slipping on pigeon droppings in a subway.

CLOGGED DRAINS

SLIP & FALL RISK

CLOGGED DRAINS

Droppings and nesting materials regularly clog drains and gutters. This can cause other problems on roofs and other areas by damming water paths and creating the potential of flooding.

BIRD CONTROL

BIRD SPIKES

ELECTRIC TRACKS

BIRD NETTING

Preventing birds from landing on ledges is an important and crucial step in bird deterrence. Bird spikes offer an effective and humane deterrent for larger bird species and are available in plastic and stainless steel.

BIRD NETTING

ELECTRIC TRACKS

BIRD NETTING

The best Bird Netting in the industry guaranteed!

ELECTRIC TRACKS

These unique electrically charged tracks impart a mild electrical shock when birds land on them. The shock will not harm birds, but will condition them to avoid the area.

BIRD SLOPES

BIRD SPIDER 360

ELECTRIC TRACKS

Bird Slope is an anti-perching, anti-roosting, deterrent that is effective against all types of birds. Each section of Bird Slope is 4’ long, inches 7” wide,. The slope is made of a UV protected outdoor grade PVC and can be glued down to most surfaces.

BIRD WIRES

BIRD SPIDER 360

The Bird Wire System is a low-profile bird deterrent used to keep large birds off ledges, parapet walls, roof lines, handrails and more. Bird Wire consists of a nylon-coated stainless steel wire that is suspended between a series of poles. The wire is attached to springs, when birds land on the wire; the springs make an unstable landing surface.

BIRD SPIDER 360

Bird Spider 360 is a humane stand-alone physical bird deterrent that is used to scare large birds away from concentrated areas.

BIRD REPELLER

PROFESSIONAL BIRD TRAPS

BIRD REPELLANTS

Bird Repeller is a portable solar powered bird deterrent that uses continuous motion to prevent large pest birds from landing. A solar panel powers a 5-foot telescoping “arm” mounted above the unit that spins continuously. Birds will be frightened by the movement and will avoid the area.

BIRD REPELLANTS

PROFESSIONAL BIRD TRAPS

BIRD REPELLANTS

Bird Repellent is an EPA registered, non-lethal time-release aerosol bird repellent that is effective against all types of nuisance birds and is suitable for use around humans, pets and livestock.

PROFESSIONAL BIRD TRAPS

Bird traps come in a variety of sizes to help accommodate the species of pest bird posing a problem, the size of the flock, and the location of where the trap is going to be placed.

BIRD SOUND DETERRENTS

DON'T PUT YOURSELF AT RISK

PROFESSIONAL BIRD TRAPS

Sound Bird Deterrents use distress and predator calls, along with other sounds, to humanely deter a wide variety of winged pests. These bird control devices have been scientifically designed to deter birds from large open spaces.

DON'T PUT YOURSELF AT RISK

Birds, bird droppings and nesting materials can carry over 60 diseases and ectoparasites transmittable to humans and animals. Individuals with compromised or weakened immune systems such as the young, elderly and those living with auto immune diseases are most at risk.

DON'T PUT YOURSELF AT RISK.

BIRD CONTROL MATTERS

DON'T PUT YOURSELF AT RISK

Pest birds such as pigeons, crows and gulls love to use building surfaces to land, roost and build their nests. Bird feces is acidic and will quickly erode building materials; carrying any of 60 transmittable diseases. To prevent the spread of disease and prevent property damage, it is important to install some sort of bird control system before the bird problem gets out of control.
