Bird and Pigeon Repellents : How Can You Get Rid of Birds ?

Pigeons and birds—these beautiful creatures with their colorful feathers and soothing sounds—can quickly turn into a nuisance when they start invading your home or garden. Bird problems are among the top complaints we hear from homeowners. These issues go beyond just noise; birds cause environmental contamination through droppings, damage property over time, and create unsanitary conditions. That’s why Bash Services offers professional bird control solutions to protect your home and garden. There are several innovative ways to repel pigeons and birds—let’s explore some of the most effective ones.

Types of Bird Repellents :

1. Installing Bird Nets on Windows and Balconies

Bird nets are one of the most effective ways to prevent pigeons and other birds from entering your home. At Bash Services, we install durable, high-quality bird nets that can withstand sun, rain, and strong winds. These nets are made of UV-protected, mold-resistant polypropylene, ensuring long-lasting protection.

Benefits of Bird Nets :

  • Preserves the exterior appearance of your home: With high-quality bird nets, birds can no longer nest on your balconies or windows, maintaining the clean and attractive look of your property.
  • Reduces the spread of disease from droppings and feathers: Bird droppings often carry harmful bacteria and parasites, including bird mites. Nets help keep your home cleaner and healthier by minimizing contact with these hazards.
  • Prevents birds from perching on window ledges: Proper netting installation keeps birds from repeatedly landing and pecking at windows, which can damage glass over time.
  • Maintains peace and quiet indoors: Nets also reduce noise from constant chirping and flapping near windows.

How We Install Bird Nets ?

  • Inspection of target areas: Our engineering team conducts a thorough inspection to identify areas affected by bird activity, including droppings, nests, or frequent bird presence—especially around ledges, eaves, vents, balconies, and rooftops.
  • Choosing the right net type and size: Based on the type of birds, we select suitable net colors (usually black or white) and mesh sizes. For pigeons, we use nets with larger holes, and for small birds like sparrows, smaller mesh is required.
  • Secure and proper installation: We ensure the netting is tightly and securely fixed using the appropriate tools like screws and clips to prevent birds from dislodging it.

2. Bird Spikes

Bird spikes are another effective method for controlling a wide range of bird species. These spikes have a flexible plastic base to prevent rust and are used to deter birds from landing on building edges, fences, and signs.

How Do Bird Spikes Work?

Bird spikes are designed to discourage birds from roosting. They consist of stainless-steel rods fixed to a narrow base. These rods are not sharp and won’t harm the birds. Instead, they are spaced closely enough to prevent birds from landing altogether.

Spikes come in various widths—narrow, wide, and extra-wide—and are easy to install. They usually come in short strips that can be cut and attached to various surfaces as needed.

Advantages of Bird Spikes:  

Many houses and businesses in urban and rural areas use bird spikes. The reason for using these spikes is deterrence. Bird spikes are effective in several ways, the most important of which are:

  • Humane deterrent with no harm to birds
  • Effective against larger birds like pigeons
  • Simple and quick to install
  • Long-lasting and weather-resistant
  • Flexible base makes them suitable for curved surfaces
  • Available in different densities and price ranges  
  • Especially effective when used alongside bird nets

Where Can You Use Bird Spikes?

Bird spikes are ideal for areas with moderate bird activity. Our team will choose the right size based on the width of the surface. Common installation areas include:

  • Window sills
  • Rooftop edges
  • Signboards
  • Tile roof ridges
  • Chimneys
  • Awnings
  • Outdoor AC units
  • Other areas

Sometimes bird spikes aren't the best option for bird control. Bird spikes fit for areas with moderate bird traffic and are more effective for larger birds. Bird spikes may not be effective when trying to keep small birds away. Small birds like sparrows have very small feet designed to grip tight branches. Birds smaller than pigeons can grab onto bird spikes and use them for nesting.

Choosing the Right Type and Size of Bird Spikes  

The effectiveness of bird spikes depends heavily on choosing the right type and size for your bird issue. Keep these two key factors in mind:

1. Installation location

Narrow spikes might work for window sills but won’t cover wide ledges effectively. Birds will simply nest around the spikes if there's too much open space.

2. Bird Type

Bird spikes work best on larger birds with wide feet, like pigeons. For smaller birds, the spikes need to be taller and spaced tightly to ensure they can’t land at all.

At first glance, bird spikes may seem like a dangerous tool that can harm birds, but the opposite is true. When you learn the facts about bird spikes, it's easy to see that bird spikes are effective bird control methods that provide homeowners with a safe, long-term solution.

3. Sonic & Ultrasonic Bird Repellent Devices

These modern electronic devices use ultrasonic waves to deter birds. They emit high-frequency sounds (inaudible to humans) that confuse or irritate birds, causing them to avoid the area.

How Ultrasonic & Sonic Devices Work

Ultrasonic repellents work differently from other deterrents. They use high frequencies (which the human ear cannot hear) to deter birds. When birds hear the resulting sound, they become confused or disturbed by the noise. Birds also quickly learn to avoid areas where they have sensed the ultrasonic waves. ​

There are several ultrasonic devices to choose from depending on the coverage you need. Typically, they can cover an area of up to 3,600 square feet. With multiple amplifiers, you can customize coverage for larger areas.

Where are Sonic & Ultrasonic Devices Used?

As with all bird repellents, there are certain considerations that must be taken into account for the ultrasonic device to work optimally. The location of the device plays a significant role in its effectiveness. Ultrasonic devices work best in enclosed and semi-enclosed spaces where the sound waves can bounce off walls or ceilings. ​

For open areas, ultrasonic devices that include weather-resistant speakers and waterproof control panels are recommended.​

What Types of Birds Are Targeted?

Bird devices are used to deter a wide range of birds, especially those known to carry diseases such as West Nile virus or E. coli. Some of the most commonly targeted birds include pigeons, seagulls, sparrows, woodpeckers, starlings, ducks, and geese.

While bird devices are ideal for deterring various bird species, they are also effective against bats, rodents, dogs, and other small animals. You may need to adjust the device’s frequency settings to effectively repel these different pests.

For smaller-scale use, there are home bird repellents designed specifically for balconies, patios, and gardens. Although the device still requires a semi-enclosed space to function optimally, these home models are compact and tailored for residential use.

If you have pets, it’s important to be aware that sonic and ultrasonic bird devices may irritate them depending on the frequency setting in use. The frequencies rotate from high to low (clockwise), so the speaker should be installed off the ground if pets are nearby.

4. Shock Tape for Bird Control

Shock tape is a discreet, low-profile, and highly flexible electric bird deterrent system designed to prevent birds—especially pigeons—from landing, perching, or nesting. The system consists of electrified stainless-steel strips. When birds land on the tape, they receive a mild electric shock—not harmful, but startling enough to keep them from returning. Shock tape is installed on areas where bird activity is problematic, such as rooftops and ledges. It provides a harmless but highly effective deterrent that forces birds to avoid the area. These systems can run on either solar or electric power.

This method is particularly effective in large open spaces, ledges, signage, distinctive architectural structures, and all other places where structural and visual aesthetics are essential.

Benefits of Shock Tape : 

  • Safe for birds, pets, and humans
  • Extremely effective for all bird species
  • Nearly invisible and blends in with architectural features
  • Offers long-lasting protection for years
  • Very cost-effective, with a 100% success rate when properly installed
