Bird Netting
Bird netting creates a physical barrier to prevent pest birds from roosting or nesting in specific areas. Made from durable, UV-resistant polyethylene, it is ideal for zero-tolerance zones like warehouses, airports, and agricultural facilities. The netting is lightweight, maintenance-free, and available in custom sizes to fit unique structures. It effectively excludes birds ranging from sparrows to geese, ensuring long-term protection for properties.
Bird Spikes
Bird spikes deter roosting on ledges, beams, and other surfaces without harming birds. Available in stainless steel or polycarbonate, they are corrosion-resistant and adaptable to flat or curved surfaces. Spike systems are low-profile, preserving aesthetics while preventing bird infestations on buildings, statues, and signage. They require minimal maintenance and provide a permanent solution for urban and industrial settings.
Laser Bird Control
Laser bird control uses shifting red and green light patterns to scare birds from outdoor areas. The Class 3R laser creates an unsettling environment, preventing roosting in spaces up to 4,000 sq. ft. It is sound-free, eco-friendly, and effective for airports, landfills, and agricultural sites. The system adapts to changing light conditions, ensuring consistent performance day and night.
Solar Mesh
Solar mesh guards protect solar panels from birds and rodents without voiding warranties. The UV-resistant mesh attaches securely to panels, preventing nesting that could damage wiring or reduce efficiency. It allows sunlight penetration while blocking pests, extending the lifespan of solar installations. The system includes clips for easy mounting on panels with bracket depths over 30mm.
Electronic Repellers
Electronic bird repellers emit distress calls or ultrasonic frequencies to deter pest birds from large areas. These devices disrupt bird communication and comfort zones, preventing roosting in barns, warehouses, and open fields. They are weatherproof, energy-efficient, and programmable to target specific species, offering a humane alternative to chemical repellents.

Bird X will be liable for those who are affected by the long term effects on humans, (Those with keen sensitive hearing both young and old). Ever since my obnoxious neighbor purchased the ultra sonic bird x shortly over time I developed ringing in my ears. Our homes are in a close proximity range. My ENT doctor along with the research I have conducted on my own regarding sonic devices warrants Bird X to be held responsible in full for ALL the medical damage their ultrasonic products will do over time.
Of coarse you cannot hear the noise, BUT the ultrasonic pitch WILL do such medical damage to a person's hearing in more ways than one. Bird X Sonar will be summoned to legal responsibility to take this sonar product of off the market. I urge all owners in small town neighborhoods (with homes in close range) to discard their product prior to reporting to law enforcement and the BBB.

Bought 2 bird deterrent products based on site info. Products arrived with some sort of universal plug/outlet system, NOT ADVERTISED or explained on their website. Called to return and asked for a shipping label as their product did not contain the info I needed to make a smart purchase. Customer service was like talking to a mutant who basically told me to 'F' off and didn't care what I wrote on YELP.
Their product was $20.00 more than at my local hardware store so I ordered from them, expecting them to stand by their merchandise. They didn't and I HIGHLY recommend that you do not purchase from this seller.

I ordered 10 feet of Bird-X product from their website. The product cost $20.68, which I thought was reasonable. However, they then nailed me 19.34 for shipping! WTF! That nearly the same amount as the product itself! Who do they have shipping this stuff -- lawyers? Or how is it being shipping -- by royal horse and carriage? Do yourself a favor and don;t order directly from them -- buy this at Home Depot or Lowe's or Walmart instead. Don;t make the same mistake I did.
