Pest Birds Defacing Your Backyard? Bird Control Has Gone Solar!


http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i441/birdbgone/SolarSonic-005_zpseec77115.jpgIf pest birds are leaving bird poop all over your patio tables, chairs, loungers and BBQ, you need some bird control. If you’re tired of hosing bird droppings off your walkways, fencing, decorative garden features and kids outdoor gym toys, it’s time for some serious, professional bird control measures. Shooing birds away with noisemakers, water hoses or other home remedies only goes so far. Birds always come back.

Bird droppings left to gather can permanently damage your patio furniture, awnings and umbrellas. These droppings also carry disease—any of 60 known diseases, including salmonella and histoplasmosis (causing respiratory problems). If you really want to address the problem of pest birds, you have to use proven bird deterrents that are both effective and humane. That’s where today’s bird control experts come in. One of the newest bird deterrents currently available is the Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic.

Deters a Virtual Aviary of Birds Species

The Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic is the ideal all-in-one bird deterrent. It broadcasts the pre-recorded distress and predator calls of over 22 species of birds, including pigeons, crows, gulls, starlings, woodpeckers and grackles. You can set it to deter a specific bird or just leave it on its "general" setting to deter multiple bird species. This way, you effectively protect your backyard from today’s most common bird problems. The distress and predator calls are repeated every ten minutes to keep birds away. You can program the device to turn on or off at night. There’s also a volume control that lets you adjust the sound output intensity—anywhere from 65-105 decibels.

Birds Hear and Flee

The Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic takes full advantage of a bird’s natural alertness and sensitive hearing. A bird’s hearing range is much like a human’s, which is why some ultrasonic bird deterrents are ineffective, since they produce sounds above a bird’s hearing range. Better still, the sounds emitted by the Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic are harmless and resemble normal birdcalls to the human ear, so they won’t bother pets or neighbors.

Ideal for Large Open Spaces

Scientifically designed to deter birds from large open spaces, the Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic is the ideal pest bird deterrent for backyards, rooftops and spacious gardens. It’s ruggedly designed for outdoor use and constructed of UV-protected materials to make it sun and weather resistant. You can readily place it wherever pest birds flock or gather.

Solar Powered and Sustainable

The Solar Bird Chase Super Sonic is powered by sustainable solar energy. So it’s more efficient during daylight. It also includes rechargeable batteries for efficient nighttime operation. A handy LCD display panel shows you operating status and settings at a glance. The device comes with one internal speaker that easily covers up to an acre of property.

Top 4 Bird Control Devices for Hotels


If you own or operate a hotel, you know that image is key to your success. One problem many hotels have to deal with is the presence of pest birds. If your hotel is in a seaside or resort setting, pest birds can become a costly nuisance.

The problems associated with pest birds are many. For one, they leave unsightly, unhealthy droppings on signage, walkways, outdoor cabanas, tables and chairs. This can be a real turn off to guests. Bird droppings can also create slip-and-fall hazards that may injure guests. And they can carry viruses and other airborne diseases--as many as 60.  Sparrows and feral pigeons, for example, can carry bacteria causing salmonella. Finally, bird droppings create offensive odors, which can turn away potential guests and compel those already booked to leave.

The solution to the bird problem is professional bird control in the form of proven effective bird deterrents that keep birds away from your hotel and grounds. Here are four bird-proofing strategies the experts recommend:

1. Bird Spikes

Used by hotels around the world, Bird Spikes are ideal for deterring pigeons, gulls, crows, geese and other large birds. Birds simply can't land on or near these spikes. Bird Spikes come in tough, rigid unbreakable polycarbonate or flexible stainless steel. The best bird spikes are made of marine-grade stainless steel with a UV-protected polycarbonate base that can be bent to fit curved surfaces. The poly spikes come in a variety of colors--like crystal clear, brick red, light grey, brown, black and tan—to blend in with your hotel’s color scheme.

2. Electric Tracks

Ideal for keeping birds off signs, ledges, rooftops and other elevated areas, Electric Bird Shock Tracks are easy to install and use. Birds that land on these electrified tracks are quickly “educated” with a harmless but annoying electric shock. The best electric tracks have a low-profile design that renders them virtually invisible. These electric tracks feature a flow-through design that keeps water from damming up on rooftops. They also have a corrosion-resistant track that resists alkali and acidic environments.

3. Bird Spiders

Easy to place and move wherever pest birds like to gather--like open patios, rooftops, awnings, and even on patio tables before you open--Bird Spiders provide a visual distraction that frightens and annoys birds. The long, spider-like arms wave in the breeze, making birds feel ill at ease and eager to leave. Bird spiders come in a variety of diameters (2’, 4’, 6’ and 8’) to provide increasingly wider areas of bird deterrence.

4. Bird Chase Super Sonic

Ideal for keeping pest birds away from patio areas, gardens, pools and spas, the Bird Chase Super Sonic emits bird distress and predator calls that frighten birds away. The sounds resemble normal birdcalls and won’t annoy guests. The device emits distress and predator calls for 22 different species of birds.

Birds Eating Your $500 Pond Fish?


You spent a ton of money on the exotic fish in your pond. Maybe you even put a dozen koi in your prized water feature. Family and friends look down and see a wonderland of beautiful fish. But one day, you went to feed your gorgeous koi only to discover that half were missing. You looked up and saw a long-beaked heron or crane on your fence. You grabbed your garden hose and blasted the evil bird, realizing your koi were being digested in the bird’s stomach.

To protect the rest of your fish, you sat in your lawn chair with the water nozzle in your hand, just waiting for the blasted bird to re-appear. After several hours, you went inside, wondering what to do. Thoughts of shooting the bird or poisoning it crossed your mind, but you soon found out that’s illegal, since herons and cranes are protected by law. Trapping the birds can get complicated, since the big birds often injure themselves trying to escape. Besides, getting rid of one bird is no guarantee others one won’t show up to take its place.

Fortunately, there is one humane and highly effective product that will keep your prized fish from being eaten by stealthy herons and cranes. It literally makes your pond bird-proof.

Introducing the Pond Defender™

This unique, innovative product finally offers a foolproof and inexpensive solution to protect expensive fish in ponds and water features. The clever device prevents koi and other prized fish from being preyed upon by skillful and determined herons and cranes.

Easy to set up and visually unobtrusive, the PondDefender™ gives your fish a safe hiding place that’s out of reach of winged predators. The 12 interlocking plastic discs float just below the surface of your pond. The visually pleasing geometric shape efficiently prevents herons and cranes from reaching your fish. You can easily arrange the discs to fit virtually any shape pond or water garden. The discs allow underwater plants to grow through their geometric openings. You can even stack two rows of Pond Defender™ discs to prevent really long-beaked birds from poking and injuring your fish. The discs are made of a UV-protected plastic (polypropylene), so they’ll not only last a long time but can easily be removed for cleaning.

Each package of Pond Defender™ includes twelve discs that are easily snapped together to form a ring around the edge of your pond. The design leaves an open center, which allows fish to be seen, yet quickly seek cover and concealment. The black discs are barely noticeable and create an effective barrier between predator birds and your fish. You can enjoy your fish without the need for netting or other visually obtrusive deterrents.
