Bird Repellents
Beautiful, inspiring and lively music makers as
they are, they can sometimes be your greatest pests too.
They destroy your produce and spread deadly diseases. This
is where bird repellents come in. If you encounter any pest
problem with birds, you can’t help but take evasive action
to safeguard your interests, which may at times assume
ruthless proportions.

Bird Repellents for Roof Pigeons
Birds like to be perched on high-elevated
points for their entitlement of a bird’s view of the
surroundings for survival, and food. Pigeons show a
special liking to live closer to human habitations for
easy food among other things. History shows us that
pigeons are useful in carrying messages over difficult
territory, the reason why they are accredited with the
symbol of peace. They breed very fast and live in groups
of large numbers on rooftops, lawns and back gardens.
Apart from their litter, and small feathers floating
about, pigeons are a big nuisance for most of us. Bird
repellents like weatherproof spike products can make it
uncomfortable for birds to alight on them and stay for
more than a few seconds, but to cover large spaces like
rooftops it is quite costly. Use of some sound deterrents
and sticky bird gels that they hate to keep their feet on
are two other alternatives.
How to get rid of Small Birds Nesting in
Households
Some small
birds find the ceiling eaves roof canopies ideal for their
nesting purposes. To get rid of them, you have to take more
drastic steps like destroying their nets without a trace. A
possible preventive measure is to block entry into the eaves
with some plastic type wire netting (to withstand corrosion
and decay) or the application of sticky bird repellents gel
on beams.
Repelling Geese
Geese with their massive body size can make
a mess of your backyards and lawns in next to no time. A
“Goose Chase Sonic” scares them away by emitting a sound
emulating the distress call of geese. Some people employ
a scarecrow generally hooked on to a garden hose to shoot
water on detection of sound. It is expensive to install
and causes practical problems because it cannot identify
the source of sound. A product made of grape extract
called Migrate can be applied on the grass, the taste of
which the geese cannot stand.
Getting rid of Woodpeckers
Woodpeckers
don’t peck at surfaces to sharpen their long sturdy beaks,
but for finding food, to carve out a cavity for a nest; or
sometimes as a signal for mating. Whatever it is, they can
cause a lot of harm. If there is a woodpecker that has taken
a liking for pecking away at your home, quick action is
needed to repel it to avoid more severe damage. A supersonic
bird chaser could be useful as much as some visual bird
repellents like scare eye balloons and diverters. A Mylar
tape could teach it a bitter lesson.
Bird Repellents for Pool
Birds
Some birds frequent pool sides for various
reasons where repellents like bird gels or spikes cannot
be used. Your best bet under such circumstances is a
weatherproof sound deterrent like supersonic bird
repellents that can be programmed to scare away different
kinds of birds by emitting distress calls of their own
species or shrieks of their predators.
- Crow repellents
The crow is not a pleasant bird to look at, or to hear or even have near. Its name is derived from the noises it makes similar to “caw” or “crow”. So read about how to scare crows away.
- Seagull repellents
For those living in coastal areas, sea gulls are causing considerable problems, and that’s why they keep looking for good seagull repellent measures.
- Pigeon repellents
Private property owners too could rid themselves of a growing big headache by applying some of these pigeon repellent methods as described below that have already achieved successful results for many others.
