Boat owners love nothing more than to head down to the boat for a relaxing day on the water. Boats offer an escape from the hassles of everyday life and the ability to enjoy the great outdoors. Pest birds such as gulls, cormorants and pelicans also find comfort on boats. Boats offer a variety of roosting spots, including the boat canopies, bimini tops, decks, deck houses, booms, radar towers, antennas and lights. But a bird roosting is not the problem. It’s the mess birds leave behind. The last thing a boat owner wants to do is to spend their time cleaning up pest bird droppings.

Pest Bird Problems around swimming pools
Pest birds, including gulls, ducks, starling, crows and sparrows can cause health related problems in and around swimming pools do to the mess they leave from bird droppings. Birds are attracted to pools because it provides them drinking water and a place to bathe. Starlings, in particular often fly across the pool and deposit droppings and regurgitated food intended for their young.

Birds on Pool Deck

Holographic Owl, Scare Eye Octopus, Firefly II, Repel Strips, Flash Tape.
We recommend deploying a combination of audio / visual bird deterrents at roosting areas around the pool area. If possible hang or mount in the flight path of the pest birds.

A network of Scare Eye Balloons floating in the water is another option to deter the pest birds swimming in the pool. Also if you have a diving board try hanging a holographic owl or an another bird deterrent.
For birds on the pool deck or patio furniture we recommend placing visual bird deterrents near the problem areas as well as in the flight path.  We recommend using visual deterrents such as the Holographic Owl, Scare Eye Octopus mounted on Whip Rods. The Whip Rod tends to sway with the wind, which adds to the bird’s fear of movement and predators. The Whip Rods can be adjusted to various heights to accommodate the surroundings.

Hang visual bird deterrents from the Whip Rods so that they are allowed to move freely in the wind.  The Whip Rod can be stabilized using a block of wood or other suitable base. Also place a Gull-Cat cat Bird Deterrent Scares Birds on a table top, patio furniture or on the deck. Move the Gull-Cat Decoy Scares Birds every few days to increase effectiveness.   Home and Garden Bird Deterrent Kit which includes visual bird deterrents and comes with the Whip Rods.

Attaching a variety of lightweight visual deterrents such as the Holographic Owl, Scare Eye Octopus, Repel Strips or Flash Tape to the Scare Eye balloons and wire creates a 'bird fence' in the sky.

* Audio / Visual Bird Scare products are not always effective on their own, particularly against non-migratory birds like pigeons and sparrows or where birds may be roosting rather than simply hanging out. A combination of audio / visual products should be deployed and re-located as birds react. Results vary depending on protected roosting conditions, food /water source. Overnight nesting sites typically require exclusionary products – netting, electric etc.
