Each year building owners and homeowners spend countless hours and money cleaning up after and repairing the damage caused by pest birds. Not only are these problems unsightly; pest birds and their feces can spread 60 plus transmittable diseases. Safety, sanitation and health hazards caused by bird droppings can pose serious liability risks, and left untreated, can lead to accidents and lawsuits. Bird feces, bird nests and debris can also create a bad public image with tenants and patrons. Individuals, companies and government agencies are tired of cleaning up bird feces or repairing the damage that is caused by pest birds and their droppings. To solve the problems with pest birds, you must use some sort of bird barrier.
Bird Barriers are safe and humane products that deter pest birds from landing, roosting and nesting where they are not welcome. They come in several different types; physical bird barrier deterrents, visual bird barriers and sound devices to keep pest birds away. Choosing the correct bird barrier depends on the type of pest bird you are having a problem with and what they are doing.
