When it comes to pest birds invading your property, it’s important to nip your bird problem in the bud. The longer you allow them to loiter and gather, the harder (and more expensive) it will be to get rid of them. Without effective bird control to deter them, birds will be attracted to the scent of their bird droppings and will consider your property a safe haven.
If you’ve got birds nesting under eaves, sitting above your entryway, roosting on window sills, in the attic, or even sitting on a fence or roofline, you’ll need some serious bird control. Remember, migrating birds will return in the spring to nest, and geese will come back to graze on your prized lawn and garden areas. Eventually, you’ll get tired of cleaning your BBQ, patio table and chairs, pool and spa. What you need is proven effective and humane bird control measures. Here's what the pros recommend:Bird NettingIdeal for protecting virtually any area of your home—like gardens, bushes, eaves and other structures--Garden Bird Netting is a lightweight mesh made from a durable, UV-protected polypropylene. It’s strong, lightweight, and blends in with its surroundings. It comes in two roll sizes: 14' x 100' and 14' x 200', and it can easily be cut to the size you need. You can also choose from three different "mesh" sizes--1/4" mesh, 1/2" mesh and 3/4" mesh—depending on the size of the bird you wish to block out. Garden bird netting clips are available to streamline installation.Plastic Bird SpikesScientifically designed to prevent birds from perching and roosting on rooflines and parapet walls, Plastic Bird Spikes are among the most effective and humane bird deterrents you can get. They come in a wide range of colors--like white, tan, gray, black, brown, brick red and crystal clear--to blend in with your home’s color scheme. Plastic spikes are the least expensive bird spike available. They’re tough and durable, and they’re fabricated from a rigid UV-resistant unbreakable polycarbonate.Sonic Bird ControlHighly effective in deterring birds from open areas, Sound Bird Control devices emit distress and predator calls that make birds too uncomfortable to stay. The sounds these devices emit resemble normal bird calls, so they won’t bother you, your pets or neighbors. One sonic device is so versatile that it can re-create distress and predator calls for 22 different species of birds. It protects one full acre, includes a volume control and can be programmed to turn on or off at night. Visual Bird DeterrentsEasy to install and inexpensive to use, Visual Bird Deterrents include Flash Tape, Reflective Banners, Scare Eye Diverters and Bird Scare Balloons. All are wind powered to bob,weave and rattle, which frightens birds. They should be hung in plain view around gardens and pools, and “swapped around” to convince pest birds that they are a live threat.
