Pigeons

One of the most common and most difficult to remove bird species. They combine extreme perseverance with a mediocre intellect.

Because of this, they strive to remain on the chosen site by any means, even despite constant discomfort. When they are deterred, they move from one part of the territory to another, and then come back. Extremely prolific, can breed up to six times per season.

The fight against pigeons is a constant long-term struggle aimed at reducing the population. Achievement and consolidation of visible results can take several years.

We recommend using the full range of Flock Free products in combination with the regular removal of nests as soon as they are built and preventing birds from accessing food and places convenient for shelter and nesting.

  1. Regular spraying of Tank Mix using hazers, Misting System, or handheld sprayers.

  2. Bird Gel + UV Paint on horizontal surfaces, protected from direct sunlight.

  3. Universal Spikes, Flock Off Electromagnetic System, or Surface Pro Tack in places of landing and nesting.

  4. Shock systems + UV Paint on external surfaces and ledges.

 

Seagulls

Seagulls are smart and very persistent. They can cause significant damage to fish farms, industrial sites, transport facilities (especially ports), marinas, boats, and private households.

Also, gulls actively pollute the roofs of buildings and even can aggressively attack visitors of restaurants in coastal regions.

They respond well to threats, moving away from protected areas. But because of perseverance they always try to return as long as there are circumstances favorable for their living.

  1. Regular spraying of Tank Mix with Hazers, Misting System, or handheld sprayers on all surfaces, especially near food storage areas and food waste disposals.

  2. Grid System works great on seagulls (contact us for details).

  3. Flock Off Electromagnetic System on beams, roofs, pipes, and ledges.

  4. Shock Tape, Universal Spikes, and Surface Pro Tack on all horizontal surfaces where seagulls land.

  5. Nets to cover surfaces under roofs and canopies as well as nets over ponds for breeding juveniles in fish farms.

  6. Regular cleaning of roofs and other surfaces contaminated by seagulls, including removal of nests.

  7. Prevention of access to food and shelters using nets, mesh, grids, and garbage cans with lids.

 

Geese and Ducks

Ducks and geese can cause significant pollution to public and private spaces (an adult goose produces 4 lbs of poop every day), and damage crops.

The birds can be aggressive and dangerous for humans protecting the nests. Also, ducks and geese are spreaders of many types of diseases and parasites.

They are very persistent which makes it difficult to remove them.

  1. Regular treatment of all surfaces with Tank Mix using Hazers, handheld sprayers, or Misting System. Hazers work particularly well on geese and ducks because these birds have large lings.

  2. Grid System on roofs and backyards, to prevent the birds from landing (contact us for details).

 

Sparrows

Sparrows are extremely persistent in their desire to stay on the selected site, especially if there is a lot of food (and they are almost omnivorous) and nesting places.

They build nests very quickly – after removal of the nest, they can restore it in the same place in one day.

It is necessary to exert constant pressure on sparrows for a long time, sometimes up to five years in a row and more to achieve an effective result. At the same time, nothing will work if access to food is not blocked.

  1. Bird Gel + UV Paint on horizontal surfaces that are not exposed to direct sunlight.

  2. Close spaces under the roofs of canopies with nets, close holes through which birds can enter the premises with nets, mesh, or grids.

  3. Spray the Tank Mix on all surfaces prior to the nesting season with handheld sprayers. Spray Tank Mix using the Misting System, Hazers, or handheld sprayers weekly (or more often). It is necessary to spray Tank Mix on all surfaces, including seeds in fields.

  4. Surface Pro Tack on horizontal surfaces and Universal Spikes set to smallest settings. Make sure that the birds can’t land between the spikes (using too large spikes is a very common mistake, birds just land and build nests between the spikes, feeling completely safe).

 

Starlings and Swallows

The behavior of starlings, swallows, and swifts is similar to the behavior of sparrows.

Accordingly, to control them (and other small birds), the same methods are used as for controlling sparrows.

  1. Bird Gel + UV Paint on horizontal surfaces that are not exposed to direct sunlight.

  2. Close spaces under the roofs of canopies with nets, close holes through which birds can enter the premises with nets, mesh, or grids.

  3. Spray the Tank Mix on all surfaces prior to the nesting season with handheld sprayers. Spray Tank Mix using the Misting System, Hazers, or handheld sprayers weekly (or more often). It is necessary to spray Tank Mix on all surfaces, including seeds in fields.

  4. Surface Pro Tack on horizontal surfaces and Universal Spikes set to smallest settings. Make sure that the birds can’t land between the spikes (using too large spikes is a very common mistake, birds just land and build nests between the spikes, feeling completely safe).

 

Crows

Crows are extremely intelligent birds. In search of food, they can break into enclosed spaces (garbage cans, etc.). At the same time, their intelligence makes it easier to scare them away from the protected territory.

Crows will not live where they are uncomfortable, so they easily take off and fly to new territories if you create conditions uncomfortable for them, limiting access to food and places for shelter.

  1. Hazers together with UV Paint. Hazers work very well on crows in flight because they have a large surface of the lungs. The reinforcement of the effect is achieved by using UV paint – crows quickly begin to associate visual markers with an uncomfortable state caused by the hazers.

  2. Spraying Tank Mix on surfaces (roofs, paths, trees, transport, equipment, etc.) using Misting System and sprayers. Tank Mix irritates the paws and respiratory organs of birds, and its constituent ultraviolet dyes teach crows to stay away from treated surfaces.

  3. Bird Gel + UV Paint for horizontal surfaces closed from direct sunlight (beams, pipes, rafters).

  4. Shock systems + UV Paint in outdoor areas. Electric shock deters birds, and the paint increases the effect.

  5. Surface Pro Tack and/or Spikes in the places of landing.

 

Jackdaws, Rooks, and Magpies

Jackdaws, Rooks, and Magpies are close relatives of crows, so use the same deterrents on them as against crows while teaching birds to stay away from protected areas with visual aids (UV paint, Tank Mix).

  1. Hazers for impact on flying birds.

  2. Spraying Tank Mix for impact on birds after landing and during feeding in the protected area.

  3. Spikes to prevent landing and nesting on horizontal surfaces.

  4. Visual deterrents to create a connection between the visual signal and the uncomfortable sensation.

 

Woodpeckers

While woodpeckers are useful for forests (they eat pest insects living in trees), they can also damage healthy trees and walls of buildings, causing damage to orchards, vineyards, and households.

Therefore, the main task in the fight against woodpeckers is to force them to move from the gardens and home backyards to the woods where they will be useful.

  1. The main and most effective way to control woodpeckers’ activity is to apply Tank Mix with hand sprayers and brushes to all the places that attract the attention of woodpeckers (including tree trunks).

  2. Hazers are less effective against woodpeckers since most of the time these birds spend not in flight.
