Pest birds like pigeons and larger species can cause significant damage to property and pose health risks. Traditional bird control methods may not always be effective or aesthetically pleasing. Enter the AvePro Bird Wire System – a discreet, versatile, and durable solution designed to deter birds without harming them.

At the heart of the AvePro Bird Wire System is a simple yet effective principle: creating an unstable landing surface for birds. The system consists of stainless steel wires tensioned between posts or fixtures, creating a barrier that prevents birds from landing or perching comfortably.

But how does it work? Birds rely on stable surfaces for perching and nesting. The thin, nearly invisible wires of the AvePro system disrupt this stability, making it difficult for birds to find a secure footing. As a result, they are discouraged from roosting or nesting in the protected area.

The versatility of the AvePro Bird Wire System is one of its key strengths. It can be installed on a wide range of architectural features, including exposed roof ridges, window ledges, parapets, pipes, and more. This adaptability makes it suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial properties alike.

Installation is straightforward, typically involving the attachment of stainless steel posts or fixtures to the desired surface, followed by the tensioning of the wires between them. Once installed, the AvePro system requires minimal maintenance and is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.

One of the advantages of the AvePro Bird Wire System is its discreet design. Unlike traditional bird control methods such as spikes or nets, the AvePro system is nearly invisible from a distance, preserving the aesthetics of the protected area.

In addition to its effectiveness and durability, the AvePro Bird Wire System is also environmentally friendly. It does not harm birds or other wildlife, making it a humane choice for bird control.

In conclusion, the AvePro Bird Wire System offers a scientifically proven solution to bird control, effectively deterring pigeons and larger pest birds from roosting and nesting on your property. With its innovative design, ease of installation, and long-term effectiveness, it's the ideal choice for property owners seeking a discreet and sustainable bird deterrent solution.

More window cleaners are adding bird control to their list of services and doing quite well at it. Add-on services are ideal for all window cleaners.  It’s rare to find a window cleaning company that only offers window cleaning service.  Most companies offer at least 2 or 3 add-on services. Adding bird control services to a window cleaning company’s offerings can fatten service contracts, especially when the client must comply with public health codes to operate—like restaurants.

One window cleaning service in California, recently added bird control and gutter cleanups to their repertoire of services.  They found the add-ons to be lucrative and a real business booster. The company pressure washes gutters and downspouts to clear out leaves and bird debris. The add-on services represent as much as 40 percent of the company’s overall business, with bird control being among the fastest growing areas. The company notes that selling clients on added services is fairly straightforward, since clients who are particular about clean glass want to avoid pest birds and their droppings.

Commercial window cleaning companies are realizing that pigeons and other pest birds can create a messy situation. A single mating pair of pigeons, for example, can quickly turn into a small flock, and in a year or so, they can cover a commercial building with unsightly droppings. To make matters worse, pigeons and many pest birds seem to be attracted to the scent of their droppings.

Pest bird droppings left on windows can carry a variety of diseases. Pigeons, for example, carry Ornithosis (psittacosis), Encephalitis, Newcastle disease, Toxoplasmosis, Salmonella food poisoning and other diseases. More customers are becoming aware of these diseases carried by pest birds, which is why more are asking about effective bird control when they contract to have their windows cleaned.

Besides the health hazards pest birds pose, window washers are hearing from their customers that bird droppings are slippery and can create slip-and-fall hazards, a liability they would rather avoid.

If you want to add a profitable new service to your window cleaning business, consider these two popular bird control products:

Electric-Tracks. Birds get a harmless “zap” the second they land on these electrified bird control tracks. Ideal for most pest birds, these tracks will even discourage seagulls and larger birds from landing on window ledges and rooftops. They are easily installed on any flat or curved surface. The jolt imparted by these tracks tends to permanently "persuade" pest birds to change their habits and find a more hospitable ledge or rooftop. For customers concerned about aesthetics, one of the best electric tracks is a low-profile model that’s virtually invisible from the ground. It measures just 1/2-inch high by 1-3/4-inch wide and comes in 100-foot rolls. The track is available in four colors: grey, stone, black and terracotta. It’s made from a flexible U.V.-protected PVC base that can easily conform to curved or straight surfaces. For added convenience, the track can be powered by an A.C. charger or solar charger. The best electric tracks have a flow-through design to prevent water from damming up around them. Consider offering a corrosion-resistant track, which will stand up to tough alkali and acidic environments.

Bird Spikes. An ideal bird control device, bird spikes prevent birds large and small from landing on rooftops and windowsills. They come in either rigid U.V.-resistant unbreakable polycarbonate or high strength, durable stainless steel. The spikes won't harm birds or work crews. In fact, they've been approved by a number of humane groups worldwide--including the U.S. Humane Society and PICAS (Pigeon Control Advisory Service). For customers are concerned about aesthetics, bird spikes come in various colors--including white, tan, gray, black, brown, brick red and crystal clear. They’re easy to install with glue, screws or nails. One manufacturer even offers a no-gap spike that's easy to mount on curved surfaces.
