Effective against Herons, Geese, Pigeons, Cormorants, Sparrows. Seagulls, Woodpeckers, Starlings and more
The Gull-Cat Bird Scare Decoy can help resolve ongoing pest bird problems for homeowners, boat owners and building owners in a humane way. This simple, realistic-looking device resembles a cat in a crouching predator stance which taps into a bird's fear and flight response. The Gull-Cat has life-like brown or black fur, sharp-looking teeth and a moving head. It can be securely tethered to fit nearly any surface. It is weighted and stable and continually moves in a random pattern from either wind or waves, creating a realistic threat for birds in the area.
The Gull-Cat can be easily mounted or dismounted, making it an easy bird scare deterrent to be placed on tables, furniture, boat decks and other places that are often accessed, but need protection when people are not there.
The Gull-Cat bird deterrent is great for use on boats, docks, patios, backyards, balconies, walls, polls, lawns, decks, porches, trees and more.
*No single product stands alone; a combination of Bird deterrents must be used with repeated reinforcement as necessary.

Resolve pest bird problems on your boat with effective bird deterrents
Keep Birds off your boat!
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. Sailboats, motorboats or speedboats, all of these boats
have the potential to attract pest bird problems.
Bird Deterrents for Boats
Keeping birds off boats can be accomplished by using a combination of
visual and structural bird deterrents placed on or near the problem area.
Visual bird deterrents work on birds' predatory fear of sudden movement and
predator effigies. A new, and highly effective, product of this kind is the Gull-Cat Decoy Bird Scarer, which is a life-like cat whose head and tail moves.The Gull-Cat Decoy Scares Birds can be positioned on
canopies, decks, booms etc. The Gull-Cat Cat Bird Deterrent Scares Birds can be securely tethered at typical
roosting areas - boom, mast, rigging etc -on sail boats. Some boats may need more then 1 Gull-Cat Decoy Scares Birds (ex 1 at
the bow and 1 at the stern).
When possible, move the Gull-Cat cat Bird Deterrent Scares Birds every few days to
keep the pest birds frightened by its movement. Along with the Gull-Cat Cat Bird Deterrent Scares Birds,
other visual bird deterrents such as the Holographic Owl,
Firefly II, Scare Eye Balloons, Scare Eye Octopus
Gull Cat Decoy Scares Birds on a boat
and the new Dead Seagull Bird Deterrent canbe hung upside down in the death position from the boom,
pulpit, pushpit, or basicallyanywhere
close to the where the gulls or cormorants like to roost.The FireEye, an 8" wind
activated disk incorporates state of the art visual cues that scientifically
affect avian vision. A wide array of clamps enables the FireEye to be installed
at critical bird roosting areas on any boat.Make sure the visual bird
deterrents are allowed to move freely in the wind and reflect
sunlight at the pest birds.
Structural Bird Deterrents for Boats
Daddi Long Legs with Sandbag base
The industry standard for boat bird deterrents has long been the Daddi Long Legs. This unusual product features long, metal arms that move menacingly
in the wind and will turn in even the slightest breeze to help keep gulls and
other sea birds away from canopies, decks and booms. The Daddi Long Legs comes
in a variety of sizes 2’, 4’, 6’ and 8’; choose the size that best fits the bird
problem area. The Daddi Long Legs wands can be intermeshed to achieve maximum
coverage. When possible, select the size that will allow the arms to hang over
or just reach the edge of the deck or area to be protected. Boat attachments are also available for easy
installation on booms, decks and railings. The Daddi Long Legs bird deterrent can also be
installed with a sandbag Boat base for easy installation and removal.
Birds Spikes can be used to keep gulls and other sea birds off boat antennas
and lights. Bird Spikes can easily be snapped in small sections and then glued
or zipped tied in place. Bird Spikes can also be nested together to deter
sparrows, starlings and other small birds.
