Learn How to Stop Pest Birds from Entering Warehouse Doors

  

Rotating Attack Eagle Bird Deterrent with Distress calls

Are birds entering or nesting in your warehouse? If so, left unchecked, these pest birds can lead to millions of dollars in lost inventory or possible fines from the health department. The Facility Managers deal with this problem on a daily basis as they strive to keep their building clean and free from unwanted birds. Not only can these problem birds contaminate products, but also they can lead to health diseases that can be carried by pest birds.

How Do Pest Birds Enter a Warehouse?

Pest birds such as pigeons, sparrows and starlings typically enter buildings through large open warehouse doors which are usually left open during business hours to allow forklifts or trucks to load and unload inventory. Open doors also allow for airflow and employees to easily access the building. Once inside the work space, the problem birds usually sit on beams or rafters above the warehouse floor.

Prevent Pest Birds from Entering a Building

To stop birds from flying into a warehouse, try to determine the problem species and what they are doing before entering the facility. If the problem bird is pigeons or gulls, they will typically roost on the roof line before entering the building. To deter this behavior, install on the roof line a row of Bird Spikes or Bird Shock. Bird Shock also deters small birds such as sparrows and starlings above the warehouse doors. Eliminating this launching point will help to solve and/or reduce the bird problem.  Also mount a Rotating Attack Eagle Predator Decoy above the entry point. Another product which can be very effective to help direct pest birds away from the area is the new-to-the-market Bird Free Bird Repellent Gel which creates an illusion of fire for the birds. These pre-loaded gel dishes can be placed in the gap between the rolling door and the door frame.

Visual Bird Deterrents

 

The next line of defense is to create a no-fly zone around the buildings access points. Do this by installing strategically placed audio and visual bird deterrents. The purpose of visual bird deterrents is to create fear in birds by utilizing movement, reflective sunlight, bright colors, and fearful symbols. Hang products such as Holographic Owl, Scare Eye Octopus with Flash Tape, Holographic Repel Strips, Firefly Bird Diverters. All of these visual deterrents should be hung from Swivel Brackets in front of and around the warehouse doors. Position them so that they are out and away from the building and that way the deterrent can move freely and is better positioned to interfere with the bird’s flight path. We also suggest mounting the new

Pest Bird Flock Deflector

Pest Bird Flock Deflector on the side of building. This moving product reflects sunbeams back at the birds, which startles them and frightens them away from the area. Remember, your goal is to overwhelm the birds with a sense of fear and make it uncomfortable for them to remain.

 

Bird Chaser Bird Deterrent - want to move flocks of crows out of trees or off power lines? The ground-breaking Bird Chaser bird deterrent is a visual bird scare device that deters problem crows & starlings from unwanted areas by reflecting irregular light beams from the sun.

 

A new pest bird deterrent is the Optical Bird Gel, which affects all pest bird species by triggering multiple sensory responses. First, the material emits a UV light to make it appear as a flame to approaching birds. Stick the pre-loaded Optical Bird Gel dishes near and around the warehouse door entrance.

 

Audio Bird Deterrents

In front of the door or access point, mount a audio deterrent system. They are available in a variety of price ranges from the low-end Bird Gard, to the high-end Bird Squawker. All are pre-programmed with species-specific alarm, distress and raptor sounds.

Use Vinyl Strip Doors to prevent Access

Clear Vinyl Strip Doors keep birds out!

If you are interested in using a physical barrier to keep birds out of the warehouse, clear plastic door strips can be installed without limiting access to the area. Vinyl Strip Doors are used to prevent pest birds from entering a warehouse without blocking the view of the inside or preventing people from walking through it. They are made up of a series of overlapping flexible vinyl strips that are transparent, odorless and non-toxic. The plastic door strips part only enough to let a person or truck pass through, but they do deter pest birds from flying in.

Additional Warehouse Deterrents

To keep birds off of A/C units and help deter them from the area, install the new Fire Eye Turbo Bird Spanker and allow a Flying Falcon Bird Diverter to fly above the warehouse.

No single product stands alone; a combination of Bird deterrents must be used with repeated reinforcement as necessary
