Structural Bird Control Products |
There are many varieties of structural bird control products. Different bird control products work for different birds under different situations. One important item to note is bird pressure, that is, how determined a bird is to remain in the area. Some products will not work for nesting or roosting bird problems because the bird is too determined to stay there and will find a way to defeat the product. Here is a brief definition of bird pressure:
Heavy Pressure: The bird is nesting or roosting at this site and there is generally a food or water source nearby. Medium Pressure: This is most likely a food or afternoon resting site, but they do not nest or roost there. Light Pressure: There is no food source or sheltered area at site and the birds stop there briefly during the day.
Once you have determined the bird pressure at your problem site, you can select the product that works best for your bird problem, your bird species and your aesthetic tastes. All of the structural bird control products listed below humanely deter problem birds. Click on the bird control product name for more detailed information on each product. |
