Posted by Top Marketing Place on March 9th, 2020

A flock of pigeons perching on the roof is a very common sight in many buildings. But the sight can become a source of trouble when it starts to happen frequently on your commercial building. These birds can become bothersome if they begin to tarnish the property with droppings. You must control the pests. Although birds are never pests, the way they loiter in and around your property in flocks can harass the customers. No matter how many times you shoo them, they will return with the intention of nesting. 

Put the nets on

You have to think of some technique that will help to get rid of these birds and not harm the living creatures at the same time. The Bird Netting is the best available option that will prevent the birds from landing on the surface of the building. The excreta f the birds are highly corrosive. It will damage the building surface and will also irritate the customers. The otherwise harmless living objects can be the source of liability issues when the excreta land on the walkways, causing slip and fall accidents too.

Try the spikes

Another standard measure to discourage the birds from perching on your building is the Bird Spikes. It will make the landing surface uncomfortable for the birds. The birds won't find it easy to settle on the spikes and thus, will fly away. The things are not as dangerous as the name suggests. These projections are actually not harmful to the birds. No bird has ever got hurt or killed by the use of the objects. The chief constituent of these spikes is high-density Polyethylene or the Linear and low-density Polyethylene. In terms of a layman, it is a simple object of plastic material which makes them durable and robust.

• The spikes are biodegradable
• Resistant to UV light
• No rusting even on exposure to environmental factors for a prolonged period.

More effective spikes

You can also find similar spikes for birds made up of stainless steel if you want to avoid the plastic. These will also be as harmless as the plastic ones. But the perk of using the material is the way it can resist high temperatures. The material remains unaffected Even till 1000 centigrade. You have to use nails and screws to fix the spikes. The birds find it challenging to spot the stainless steel spikes as it is of similar color as that of the standard roof surfaces.

Fix them anywhere

The spikes are effective means to prevent perching in residential areas as well as commercial and industrial properties. You can install them even on top of the AC units or window sills and even on the porches. All you need is to attach them on the surfaces with the help pf screws.
