PRESS RELEASE: Pesticides are OUT. ‘Green’ Pest Control is IN.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bird-X changes the pest control industry with ‘green’, humane, eco-friendly solutions.
CHICAGO, IL—Bird-X, Inc., a leader in producing humane pest and bird repellent products since 1964, is raising the bar even higher for the pest control industry, offering ‘green’ solutions for every pest and bird problem. Research shows that, in the long-term, teaching pests to stay away is more effective than killing pests. Plus, avoiding dangerous chemical pesticides and cruel traps is much better for the reputation of the user. It looks like ‘Kill-Trap-Poison’ is no longer the only industry philosophy.
The Risks of Using Pesticides and Traps:
- Exposure to chemical pesticides can result in severe illness and even death
- Chemical pesticides are especially risky when used around children and pets
- Chemical pesticides can compromise the quality/safety of items stored on the premises
- Chemical pesticides pose risks to wildlife and can cause ecological damages
- Pests become resistant to chemical pesticides over time, requiring increased usage
- Killing pests can actually result in population growth (having more food available per pest attracts pests from other areas and increases breeding rates)
- Poisoned pests often crawl into small spaces to die, leaving awful smells in unreachable areas
- Traps leave animal carcasses—or worse, injured and dying animals—on property
- Allegations of poisonings or animal cruelty are a public relations nightmare
- Poisons and traps do nothing to keep pests away…it’s a never-ending battle
For the past few decades, the public has been demanding safer products and ‘green’ alternatives in EVERY industry. Bird-X responded by developing pest and bird control solutions that are humane, eco-friendly and extremely effective. These products protect the users’ property while protecting the environment and its inhabitants as well.
‘Green’ Bird Control
Bird-X offers solutions for every bird problem, every area, and every budget. Exclusion bird netting is designed to protect large areas like warehouse ceilings, rafters, vineyards, and bridges. Bird spikes are ideal for protecting surfaces like rooftops, ledges, and beams. Bird Proof Gel is an almost invisible solution, ideal for high-profile surfaces like window sills, signs, or statues.
Bird-X also offers bird control products that attack the senses, using the birds’ instinctual fear of predators to teach them to stay away for good. Visual scares like 3-D predator replicas are affordable options for large open areas. The Bird Blazer is the world’s first indoor laser bird repellent device. Plus, Bird-X carries an extensive line of sonic (audible) devices that use bird distress calls and predator sounds to deter birds, as well as ultrasonic (silent to humans) devices that emit frequencies to keep pest birds away.
‘Green’ Animal Control
Nature’s Defense All-Purpose Animal Repellent is a wonderful, 100% organic, non-toxic, ‘green’ product that is perfect for homeowners and facility managers. Scientifically tested and proven effective, Nature’s Defense repellent granules create an irritant scent barrier to keep pest animals away from property (deters deer, elk, rabbits, squirrels, mice, rats, moles, chipmunks, gophers, beavers, possums, etc.).

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.
Bird-X is featured in Living Green Online Magazine!
Living Green Online Magazine is devoted to spreading the eco-friendly, environmentally sustainable word. And so is Bird-X! They recently published an article on green pest control and their main source was Bird-X.
Green pest control measures actually work better than lethal alternatives. Killing birds and other nuisance animals is a losing proposition; it simply creates a vacuum that invites other animals to move in. The key to success is convincing pests an area is no longer desirable.
Well said Living Green. Check the whole thing out here!
