Not everyone is aware that
more than 60 human diseases are related to birds and their droppings, and some
of them can even be fatal to humans. When birds cause damage to your home, they
leave ugly stains, cause the structure to deteriorate, and may also lessen the
value of your property. In addition, experienced home owners can tell you that
the repairs, maintenance and clean-up from their invasions can be quite
expensive, and humane bird control provided by Bird-B-Gone is a preventive
measure you can take to keep expenses down.
Some reasons for using bird
control around your home
Woodpeckers can severely
damage wood homes, siding and shingles, and Canada geese can ruin your lawn. (They
can also make quite a mess of your property if they are not controlled.)
Blackbirds and starlings can eat the fruit and vegetables you cultivate so
carefully in order to economize and feed your family well, and the great blue
heron will go after the fish in your pond, if you have one.
Pigeons are generally considered
to be “the number one bird pest” in America, their numbers are increasing, and
their nesting instincts are strong. They usually mate for life, live in
communal flocks that travel together, and tend to seek locations where adequate
food and shelter can be found. To deter them, try installing a post-and-wire
system that also makes a potential landing unstable for seagulls and larger
birds.
Taking control of the situation
As you plan your strategy,
remember that pest birds can be very determined in finding what they want and
need. Since they seek out roosts and nesting places where they will feel comfortable
and content, you want to make your home and garden unappealing and unwelcoming
to them without causing them any harm. . You should also know that Bird-B-Gone,
Inc. sets the standard for modern bird control, their products are humane and
easy to install, and they require no maintenance. If pest birds have been
returning to your home and garden for many years or the problem you face is
especially severe, you will probably want to use a combination of their fine products
to solve it and keep the pest birds away.
You can choose from many
options for complete bird control
Sound deterrents are often used to ward off starlings,
blackbirds, pigeons, woodpeckers and other pest birds. Eventually, they will
become used to hearing one repetitious sound, and you will want to select a
device that features the sounds of predators and birds in distress with
variations. Bird Chase Supersonic
uses state-of-the art technology to provide easy volume adjustment, and it is
also an inexpensive way to protect your home and garden. The system’s rigid
construction makes it resistant to sun and weather, and you can adapt this
device to suit your particular needs. It provides the distress calls of 22
types of birds and comes with an internal speaker, you can also connect four
external speakers to the system to increase your coverage area up to 6-acres. The Bird Chase Supersonic can be used in your
garden to keep pest birds from destroying your precious plants.
Visual Bird Control devices can
help do the job
Visual devices are used to repel many types of pest birds, and they must involve movement in order to be effective. For example, The Bird-B-Gone Balloon is an “inflatable scare device” that confuses and deters birds with its lifelike predator markings and eyes they will automatically tend to avoid as they move on to a more favorable location.
The Bird-B-Gone Diverter has an iridescent
foil eye to protect your home from birds during the day and a glow-in-the-dark
back to keep them away when the sun goes down. You can also use flash tape, made from iridescent red
foil, to create what bird control experts call “an optical distraction zone” to
do the job. Use the diverter on the
sides of your home to scare pest woodpeckers away. They are also ideal to use in trees to keep
the pest birds out.
Some devices
make it difficult for pest birds to land
Roost inhibitors, which are quite effective in keeping birds away from roofs, beams, ledges and other surfaces, are probably the best-known methods of bird control, and they include spikes and netting. Bird spikes are available from Bird-B- Gone in two varieties and various colors and sizes to suit every need and situation. Made from unbreakable polycarbonate, the plastic bird spikes are extra strong and rigid; also available are marine-grade stainless steel bird spikes. The polyethylene knotted netting in Bird-B-Gone’s product line is a favorite with architects because of its durability in all kinds of weather conditions. It keeps out all species of birds; ideal for use protecting fruit trees and eaves of homes.
The
solar bird repeller sweeps birds away with its 5-foot radius rotating
“arms”. Birds see the rotating “arms” and go elsewhere to land. It comes with
two 2.5-foot telescopic rods, a solar panel that powers the motor,
and three AA rechargeable batteries for extended operation during dark periods. The solar bird repeller is great for patios, on
patio furniture and boats.
