WHY CONTROL BIRDS?
A.
Bird droppings are unsightly
and cause dangerous, slippery working conditions.
B.
Bird droppings are corrosive
to many materials including steel and concrete, especially when combined with
the effects of salt (from oceans or roads) and/or harsh weather. This corrosion can and does weaken
structural integrity.
C.
Bird droppings are unhealthy
- even potentially fatal. At least sixty transmissible diseases have been
associated with birds and their excrement.
D.
Bird droppings cost money
. Time and materials for "cleaning up" represent costs unrecoverable by revenues.
E.
Birds are destructive
. They deface floors, walls and equipment. They halt operations and make repairs
necessary by entangling themselves in machinery or downing power lines. They spoil inventory by eating
spillage, contaminating pallets of food, drugs or chemicals, or by bombarding aircraft and other durable goods
with uric acidic excrement. They nibble at, or even tear out insulation.
F.
USDA, OSHA, local health boards
and other governmental organizations can cite companies for bird mess
problems. If the problems are not corrected, companies can be fined or shut down.
III. BIRD MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
No two bird infestation problems are exactly the same. Treat yours as you would any well engineered project,
and begin with research. Success depends on timing, organization and diversity.
Collect information related to the bird problem:
A.
Survey the birds and their habits.
Gather specific data as to the type and population of birds, flight and time
patterns, entries and exits, and nesting, feeding and roosting habits.
B.
Inspect your property.
Discover what the birds find attractive about your area, and if the same conditions
prevail in neighboring properties.
C.
Remove all inducements.
Before installing the
Bird-X Laser,
make sure to clean the area of all evidence of
birds: nests, fledglings, droppings, dead birds, and the residual scent. (Adult birds are likely to return to their
young in order to protect them or to assist them in leaving the area.) Remove food spillage, garbage, nesting
material and other items that may be appealing to birds.
D.
Maintain a clean and changing environment.
For maximum effectiveness, periodically clean the area of nests
and droppings, relocate or reposition the
Bird-X Laser
, vary the output, or turn off the unit for a short time.
E.
Install early.
It is always best to install the
Bird-X Laser
before ‘bird season’ begins, as it is easier to keep the
birds away than to rout them out once they have already established a living pattern.
