Problems created by pest birds is a common nuisance in business houses. It is true that commercial businesses spend millions of dollars on clean-ups and repairs caused by bird nests and droppings. In fact, bird’s droppings and even landing can create major health concerns in areas where food is processed, prepared, stored and served.

Fortunately, there are steps commercial business owners can take to reduce and even eliminate bird problems permanently:

Bird Netting

Bird netting is used to prevent birds from reaching certain areas. Netting is ideal for a broad range of commercial uses including signs, warehouses, courtyards, rooftops and canopies.

Most types of bird netting that are mainly used for bird-proofing work are made of either polyethylene or polypropylene that has been stabilised against ultra-violet light. It is highly durable, flame-resistant, rot and water-proof.

Hooks and tape are used to install the netting. It is recommended to keep the netting taut and not to leave any gaps which allow for entry of birds in your commercial building.

Consider hiring a pest control expert for fast, efficient installation of bird netting. Also, make sure that the professional uses good quality bird netting which prevents a variety of costly maintenance and repair problems in the long run.

Bird Deterrent Spikes

Bird spikes is ideal for keeping birds off rooftops, light fixtures and other flat or curved surfaces. Blunted stainless-steep spikes are extremely durable and, when installed in strips, prevent birds from perching or roosting.

Bird control spikes are used to deter wild birds without causing them harm or killing them. Mega spikes are easily available to deter large birds like gulls, cormorants and vultures. To prevent birds from nesting in or landing on rain gutters, consider installing gutter spikes with the help of a certified and trusted pest control expert.

Bird Jolt Flat Track

Bird jolt flat track is an electrical track system that produces a mild electrical shock when birds land on its surface. The shock leave the bird unharmed, but will condition them to stay away from the area. Electric track is adhered using a specific glue bond. Also, it is easy to install and virtually invisible.

Bird Slide

Bird slide is used anywhere there is a flat, narrow ledge for birds to perch on. The bird slide system completely protects the ledge against all bird species and doesn’t allow birds to get a grip and slide right off the ledge. The actual product comes in gray or beige colour, but can be painted to match any colour.

Bird Spider

Bird spider is a device which is usually placed on the rooftops and HVAC units to discourage big birds like gulls, pigeons and cormorants. An ultra-violet polycarbonate base provides easy mounting and makes bird spider extremely durable and capable of surviving harsh weather.

Winding Up

Consider hiring service experts with skill, knowledge and access to superior products you need for commercial bird control once and for all. Make sure that your potential pest control company is certified and trusted to install bird-proof devices. This helps you in getting guaranteed bird-proof services along with other pest control services. To get the best value for money, compare quotes of two or more pest control companies.
