Another area of your rainwater goods that may need to be protected from pigeons is the ‘hopper’, a V-shaped plastic or cast-iron funnel that connects your horizontal gutter to the vertical downpipe. Pigeons will use hoppers for both roosting and for nesting. It is common to find a pigeon nest built inside a hopper, particularly on period properties that have large cast-iron hoppers. The Aspectek Upgraded Powerful Yard Sentinel Outdoor Electronic Ultrasonic Repeller is known for its special features like its adjustable infrared motion sensor and nighttime scanning technology. due to the risk of habituation, the process of risk assessment must be undertaken all over again to ensure that the reflected sounds not only continue to be effective programmer which can serve any number of master units with accuracy to the nearest second and which determines: Most sonic systems are powered by mains electricity (AC current) for ease of use and in an effort to reduce the need for human interaction, but a majority of
The following manufacturer’s product description is for the ‘Maxi Wailer’ ultrasonic pigeon & bird scarer: The industry standard method of protecting guttering and hoppers is to use anti-roosting spikes. The Defender™ Gutter Spike is the best option to protect guttering and hoppers of all types with an almost instant installation, courtesy of the integral attaching clip which clips the whole assembly to the outer lip of a gutter or hopper in seconds. The Defender™ Gutter Spike is the only spike assembly available on the market that protects the whole of the gutter including the leading edge and the gutter itself. One of the major disadvantages of a sonic system is the speed with which the target species will habituate to it. The system will therefore not only need Can be used against Seagulls and Pigeons or anywhere where there is a persistent pest bird problem in a large open space. The ultimate off-the-shelf unpleasant the sound may be to human ears. The volume of noise generated by a train passing over a railway bridge is very considerable indeed, particularly
Pro Sonic SystemAccording to manufacturers and distributors, ultrasonic bird scarers are particularly effective for use with pigeons but some scientists and application a thorough survey of the area must first be undertaken to assess the potential for human disturbance. If a sonic system is to be considered for an Effective area of coverage up to 1500 sq. ft. per speaker. Effective distance up to 50 feet. The MPS can be used with between 1 to 4 speakers depending on how many you need to solve the problem.” While outdoor gadgets used for front yards, gardens, and fields produce high frequencies and have motion-detecting sensors. These also come constructed in hard plastic for heavy weather conditions. Frequency
High-pitched frequencies deter cats, dogs and other animals from invading your garden. The signal is inaudible to humans but animals find the signal uncomfortable and leave. Other devices emit a constant sound, but Animal Away saves batteries with its infrared motion activation. The PIR sensor detects and triggers ultrasonic/sonic plus flash emission. Switchable to shift to a sonic sound.” The industry standard method of protecting a balcony is to install pigeon deterrent nylon bird netting to physically prevent pigeons entering the recess. If using nylon bird netting we strongly recommend that you read the Nylon Bird Netting product review before even considering this option. The MP3B Silent Bird Scarer unit is available from the same manufacturer and comes with a 4-speaker system and the addition of a strobe So how do you go about understanding which of these pigeon-related problems it is that you are experiencing? Over the period of a few days watch the movements of the pigeons and observe if they are active on the property throughout the day or whether they are only there first thing in the morning and then again an hour or two before dusk. If most of the activity is seen during the daytime, particularly on the upper reaches of the building (i.e. roof areas or top-storey windowsills and guttering), and there is no obvious sign of the birds on the property after dusk or during darkness, then it is likely that you are experiencing a daytime perching problem where the birds are using your property as a vantage point to exploit a food source. If, however, there is increased pigeon activity in the late afternoon or early evening and then again at dawn, with only limited pigeon activity during daylight hours, then it is likely that the birds are roosting overnight and/or possibly breeding on your property.Another major consideration when siting a sonic device is proximity to human habitation. The benefit of a fully programmable device is that the various sounds Most bird tables are fashioned from the same basic design of a flat base with a lip all the way around it to stop the food rolling off and a roof above to protect the food when it rains. This type of bird table is relatively easy and cheap to protect using the following method.
switched requiring regular human interaction. In the case of all sonic systems the transmission of sound will be effected by wind, temperature and the deflection of It is made of solid hard plastic that makes it weather resistant withstanding years of rain, snow, and strong winds. The model has a dimension of 6 inches X 3.5 inches X 2 inches. One of the major disadvantages of the product, however, certainly where internal applications are concerned, is the potential to disturb bat populations. Should the unit be considered for use inside a building or roof void, it is strongly advised that a bat survey should be carried out prior to installation by an independent organisation rather than a pest control contractor. little in the way of alternative food or roosting opportunities any system provided is unlikely to be successful. This model has the ability to produce the best results as it is fully adjustable. With this, you have the ability to adjust every feature and mode it has according to your preference.

MPS1 Silent Bird Scarer unit. Ultrasonic 1-4-speaker system. This system is available within the UK at a cost of: Sometimes, these ultrasonic waves can be heard by adolescents; while they may not be disturbing, not everyone would like to hear them. Pets Ultrasonic pigeon & bird scarers are electronic devices that produce high pitch emissions known as ultrasound. Ultrasonic pigeon & bird scaring systems have been introduced into the pest control marketplace due to the fact that ultrasound is too high-pitched for human hearing but falls within the hearing range of most species of birds. Most sonic bird scaring devices produce a sound that is audible to the human ear and therefore may cause human disturbance if used in an area of human habitation. The first step is to cut 4 pieces of galvanized wire mesh that will cover, completely, the 4 sides of the bird table. Staple these in place to the upright posts that form the supports for the roof. You will then need to cut several holes in the mesh no bigger than the size of the largest bird you want to feed on your table. These holes must clearly be smaller than a hole through which a pigeon could squeeze (approx. 2-3 inches square). Below each of these holes you should provide a small perch so that a small bird can first land on the perch prior to entering the meshed table area through the hole. These perches can be fashioned from a small branch of a tree or shrub. You must also ensure that the lip around the edge of the bird table itself is high enough so that food does not spill onto the ground below because, if it does, pigeons will simply wait under the table for scraps to fall off.
switching different combinations of sounds from speaker to speaker sequentially in pairs through a 360° arc at varying speeds, thus preventing These devices fall under 10,000 Hz which is enough for almost all neighborhood and wild birds. This frequency, although barely, is still audible for humans. Moderate-Frequency uses a combination of distress calls, predator calls and ultrasonic outputs to deter pest birds from roosting and perching.” Another common roosting area on the roof of a property is under the roof and/or gutter overhang of a dormer window in the ‘V’ that is created where the roof of the dormer window meets the main roof of the property. This area is an ideal roosting environment for pigeons as it will provide protection from the elements at the same time as being at roof height and therefore free from most forms of predation. Due to the angle of the slope of the roof these areas are rarely ever used for nesting.

Alternatively, if you choose to make an access point in one of the mesh walls then you will need to cut a hole out of one of the mesh panels that is large enough to push the food through onto the table. You will then need to cut another piece of mesh, approximately 1.0” larger than the hole you have made and then hinge it (by using electrical cable ties) over the hole. You have now made a door that can be opened and closed when filling the table with food and that is hinged via the electrical cable ties. To keep the door shut simply use two clothes pegs hooked over the base of the door and the mesh panel itself.
