Tailored bird deterrents & proofing systems
Each property requires a customised approach based on the bird species, building geometry, and environmental regulations. We offer a full spectrum of humane bird deterrents:
1. Heavy-duty bird netting
Rentokil bird netting solutions provide durable netted coverage to exposed roofing, awnings and all surfaces that pest birds like to land on. Bird netting provides an immediate, effective and discreet solution to rid an area of pest bird problems.
- Best for: Large open spaces, roof gaps, light wells, awnings, and canopy structures.
- Target species: Effective against all bird species, including pigeons, seagulls, starlings, and mynas.
- Key features: Provides 100% long-term bird exclusion. Constructed from durable, UV-resistant materials backed by a 3 to 5-year warranty.
2. Stainless steel bird spikes
This remarkably effective bird control system consists of stainless steel springs and wires tightly fixed between stainless steel pillars. Bird spikes can be fitted to most exterior surfaces, preventing problems associated with birds landing on ledges and leaving unsightly, hazardous droppings.
- Best for: Ledges, window sills, roof ridges, gutters, and structural beams.
- Target species: Larger pest birds such as pigeons and seagulls.
- Key features: Blends into building architecture. Uses steel wires on flexible bases to prevent birds from landing or perching without injury.
3. Flex Track electronic deterrents
Our electric bird deterrent system, Flex Track, offers peace of mind by providing a complete and reliable bird control solution for your business. A charger sends out a harmless yet noticeable pulse down the track every two to three seconds. This electric pulse lasts for only a fraction of a second. The birds are not harmed, but they do learn that the protected surface is to be avoided in the future.
Made of established PVC and stainless steel, the Rentokil electric bird deterrent is a durable and long-lasting solution.
- Best for: High-visibility commercial facades, parapets, signs, and heritage sites requiring discrete solutions.
- Target species: All bird species.
- Key features: Ultra-discreet low-profile PVC track available in multiple colors. Delivers a harmless electric pulse every 2 to 3 seconds that conditions birds to avoid the area permanently.
4. Eagle Eye optical bird scarers
Rentokil’s ‘Eagle Eye’ electronic bird repeller reflects light bands to imitate the presence of a bird predator. It functions optimally in direct sunlight, and can be powered by solar energy to offer effective bird control for your premises.
Ultraviolet and infrared bands in the light spectrum are reflected back to pest birds, imitating the presence of a predator bird. This hinders birds flying in to land and causes the birds to deviate.
- Best for: Large open outdoor areas, roofs, and agricultural or commercial facilities in direct sunlight.
- Target species: Starlings, Indian mynas, and flocking species.
- Key features: Uses solar-powered rotating reflective optics that reflect ultraviolet and light bands. Simulates predator activity to alter bird flight paths and force them away from the site.
