Bird-Proof Gel a proven success
Bird Proof Gel is a great alternative to spikes when getting rid of birds on ledges, shelves and doorways.
A customer recently wrote a post on their blog about using our Bird Proof Gel to get rid of sparrows on and near their front door. Here’s an excerpt of the problem:
Last year, I had a family of sparrows nest just above my front door. Their mud nest left a mess on my patio, not to mention bird crap from both the adult sparrows and eventual babies, which was most irritating when packages were set directly on top of this mess.
After applying the gel, this customer saw the change immediately.
The day after I applied it, I noticed the sparrows visiting once again, but they would only fly near the corner they favored for nesting and then retreat. They stuck around for another day or two before leaving for another nesting site.
Another satisfied customer!
Introducing the Transonic Mole!
Bird-X's new product, the Transonic Mole, gets rid of moles, gophers and other burrowing animals with a multi-sensory attack.
The newest addition to the Bird-X arsenal is the Transonic Mole. This electronic mole and gopher chaser is a three-in-one sensory assault. It harmlessly attacks burrowing pests through light flashes, loud buzzes and deep vibrations. The sound waves and vibration penetrate the burrows and surround soil, irritating the sensitive perceptions of underground visitors while the flashes frighten and disorientate any sighted pests above ground.
Two of the best things about this brand-new gadget is that it is weatherproof and maintenance free. Setting up this burrowing pest eliminator is as simple as taking it out of the box and putting it in the ground. With a 24-hour operation and coverage of up to a 50 ft. radius (approximately 7800 sq. ft.), the Transonic Mole is the easiest way to save your landscaping.
Bird-Plane collisions up 25%
A recent Associated Press discussed by the Riverfront Times report stated that nearly 10,000 bird strikes were reported last year, which is up considerably from the 7,507 reported in 2007. And that rise is only an average, with some states reporting an increase considerably higher than that.
In some states, such as Texas and Minnesota, the number of bird-plane collisions have doubled since 2005 thanks to an increase in air traffic along bird migratory routes.
…bird-plane collisions at Lambert-St. Louis International airport have increased nearly 300 percent over the past decade.
Hmmmm…maybe these airports need to try Bird-X’s new Airport Bird Control System.
The airport bird and wildlife control system is perfect for this time of year when birds and other animals start heading to their spring and summer spots.
This system is made up of three of Bird-X‘s best sound devices and one sensory spray: the Megablaster, the Goosebuster, the Critterblaster and Goosechase. The combination of the four of these makes it almost impossible for birds to get comfortable anywhere around an airport.
Bad economy means no pest control in Wales county
According to This is South Wales, county in south Wales has taken up a questionable practice to saving money: eliminating pest control. Of course, this has had it’s consequences. Now, rats are everywhere and citizens are gettign concerned.
One Llanelli resident, who asked not to be names, said: “Failure to control rodents will lead to an increase in disease and deaths.
“This is a fact.
“Rodents cause billions of pounds of damage to foodstuffs, drainage systems and properties.”
Tough the move will save the county tens of tousands from now until 2013, it still isn’t a well-thought-out plan. Rats carry 17 diseases, and, like the resident said, can spread many of those diseases easily to humans. And county residents are well aware of these facts.
The resident added: “Only those who have experienced a rodent infestation in their home can appreciate the fear and worry caused.
“To do away with the existing pest control service is false economy, but worse it is a denial of one of the council’s fundamental responsibilities and that is to protect public health.”
Quality pest control does NOT need to completely empty your pockets. Here at Bird-X, we understand that the economy is tight and we want to help. Our prices are reasonable and we off a FREE consultation.

Raising pigeons, wreaking havoc
An Illinois man likes to collect pigeons as pets. His neighbors, though, see them as more of a nuisance. (source: www.ajservicesllc.com)
Oh boy…an Aurora, IL man is bother his neighbors because of his hobby of collecting carrier and racing pigeons “to pass the time.” According to The Daily Herald, neighbors have begun to complain about the noise and the stench.
And the droppings.
Pigeon droppings are serious business. Birds carry over 60 diseases transmitted through their fecal matter. So to have a neighbor harbour up to 45 pigeons in and around his property can be dangerous. Unfortunately for nearby residents, there’s not much the city can do.
Seventh Ward Alderman Scheketa Hart-Burns was limited in what she could do to assist the unhappy neighbors. Until she help get a state law changed, municipalities were unable to regulate pigeons.
A recent amendment now allows the city to regulate but not prohibit the orderly keeping of the birds.
Luckily for the residents, a new ordinance has been passed that charges anyone housing such birds a fine for each offense. It’s a step in the right direction; human safety needs to be the top priority when it comes to having pigeons as pets. Their droppings are more than just annoying — they can be fatal.
Bird-X offers plenty of products that can get rid of pest pigeons, protecting you from possible infection. Check out our website or give us a call for a free consultation.
