Bird Control Can Ward Off Unwanted Pests?
Although some bird species are usually welcomed visitors, there are others that quickly become pests. Unfortunately, where birds venture they also leave droppings which can cause serious diseases in humans or they can even do permanent damage to property or gardens and crops. In these situations, it becomes necessary to employ bird control techniques. There are several different techniques that can be used to ward off unwanted avian visitors and the techniques will vary according to the specific area that needs to be protected. One of the cheapest ways to deter birds is by using bird netting. The netting can be strung over a large area and will physically prevent the birds from entering the protected zone. In addition to netting, bird wire can also be economically deployed to keep birds out of a specific area. However, there are times when an area cannot be enclosed for various reasons. In these situations a bird scarer can be used to control birds. A classic example of a low cost bird scarer is a traditional scarecrow. A more effective method of bird scaring is the use of either decoys or kites that resemble birds of prey, such as owls. Most bird species are instinctively afraid of owls and other birds of prey, so simply setting out a fake decoy that looks like one of these birds can often be enough to ward off other birds. A more controversial method of bird control is the use of avicides. Some avicides merely deter birds but others may actually kill the birds that come in contact with it. The use of deadly avicides tends to be tightly controlled by local government regulations but non-lethal avicides can typically be used at will. A popular example of non-lethal avicides is the use of taste aversion products that deter geese from feeding where it is spread. The product does not physically harm the animal but the taste is enough to persuade most geese from feeding where it has been spread. Although songbirds may be a welcomed sign of spring, not all birds are welcomed visitors in all places. There are various methods available to control feathered populations ranging from lethal to harmless decoys.
