Keeping Pest Birds Off Channel Letters with Electric Track

Let's say you just invested in some pretty channel letters for your business. You got the nice 3-dimensional graphic sign elements fabricated out of no-rust aluminum. The letters were sealed with weather-resistant paint, fitted with LED modules and covered with a nice translucent plastic face. You witched them on and everything looked like Christmas on the 4th of July. Until the pest birds came.

On the other hand, you might have spent some real money and installed some reverse lit channel letters. They were made of no-rust aluminum with handsome lighting that flooded the back wall and made those halo letters stand out like the Mona Lisa at the Louvre.ย  You switched these on and your sign looked like New Year's in New York.ย  Until the pest birds came.

Problem: Pest Birds love to nest and roost in your channel letters. And when they do, it doesn't take long for them to deface and eventually destroy plastic, aluminum or a composite of these materials. Over time, the high levels of acid in bird droppings can eat into and corrode almost any material. The translucent face of your channel letters can quickly be covered with unsightly droppings, reducing the light output and eventually destroying the face of the letter. Bird nests built behind reverse lit channel letters can block the light that "splashed" onto the wall, rendering the letter nearly invisible at night.

But whether you have regular channel letters or reverse lit designs, bird nests and droppings can create a fire hazard that can eventually ignite the wiring and plastic in and around these letters. (Plastic signs can be extremely flammable.)ย  And there goes your investment in signage.ย  If you're insured, say hello to higher insurance rates.

Solution: There are a number of ways to prevent birds from landing on signs. One preferred method for channel letter signage is Electric Flat Track. This low-profile, electrical track system produces a mild electrical shock when birds land on its surface.ย  Flat Track is ideal for channel signs because it is virtually invisible when properly installed. If you're concerned about aesthetics, Flat Track is just 1/4-inch at its highest point, and it comes in four colors: grey, stone, black and terracotta--so it blends in perfectly with your letters. The track is made from a flexible U.V.-protected PVC base that easily conforms to the curved or straight surfaces of your channel letters (you can bend these tracks a full 360 degrees without damaging them).ย 

If you have a problem (or expect to have a problem) with pigeons, sparrows, gulls, starlings or crows, you should invest in this type of bird deterrent to save your channel letters. For added versatility, Electric Flat Tracks are powered by an A.C. charger or solar charger. Another advantage of these tracks is that they will not harm birds, but will condition them to stay away from the area.ย  The best electric tracks feature a patented "anti-arcing" design for added safety. One manufacturer uses a tin-plated copper knitted wire mesh in a continuous "tube-in-tube" stocking design. This ensures greater conductivity, strength and reliability. The copper mesh is resistant to corrosion and highly resistant to alkalis and acidic environments.

Install the Electric Flat Track now, before the pest birds arrive.

Unlike homes and boats, commercial buildings suffer damage from pest birds on a grand scale. Commercialย  building owners spend millions of dollars every year to deal with problems associated with pest birds. The only viable solution is bird proofing.

Failure to bird proof a commercial building can lead to all sorts of problems. The droppings pest birds leave seriously detract from a building's appearance. The acid secretion produced by the fungi that live in bird droppings can mar paint and other surfaces. Cleaning and restoring buildings damaged by pest birds can be very expensive. Nests and droppings can, over time, clog gutters and down pipes, causing rooftops to leak or fill with water and possibly collapse. Pest bird nests and droppings can get sucked into ducts, grilles and vents, clogging commercial air conditioning and heating units, permanently damaging these expensive systems.

Bird droppings deposited at commercial building entrances and fire escapes increase the likelihood that pedestrians may slip and fall on them, creating a huge legal liability to commercial property owners. Droppings also spoil finished products in loading bays and storage areas. They ruin the appearance of costly finished goods, metal panels, and stonework. Droppings can also eat into and destroy wood, paper and cardboard packaging of products on pallets or outside storage.

There are many other reasons to bird proof a commercial building. Pest birds create offensive odors, which can be a nuisance to restaurants, especially with outdoor service. Accumulated on signage , droppings are unsightly and can ruin the image of a business.

Pest birds can also be a health hazard, carrying and transmitting any of 60 known diseases. Sparrows and Feral Pigeons can carry bacteria causing Salmonellosis. Feral Pigeons carry Ornithosis, which is similar to viral pneumonia. Birds, bird droppings and their nesting materials contain insects and mites. These insects can damage property and stored foods.

Fortunately, there are a wide variety of effective and humane ways to bird proof a commercial building .

One very popular product for persuading pest birds to stay away is theย  bird spike. Ideal for pigeons and other large birds, some are made of strong, rigid unbreakable polycarbonate, others have marine grade stainless steel spikes. Similar to the spikes is the bird spider. Recommended for rooftops and other flat surfaces, the spider arms move with the breeze, keeping wild birds from landing. The Bird Spiders come in a variety of diameters and install easily. And while they look menacing, spikes and spiders won't harm birds and are virtually invisible once installed.

Bird netting is another effective pest bird solution. Itโ��s ideal for a broad range of commercial uses, including signs, warehouses, courtyards, canopies, airplane hangars and rooftops. Best of all it can be used to control all species of birds and even specified by architects. Look for netting that's U.V. stabilized, flame resistant and rot and waterproof. Webbing can be ordered in a variety of mesh sizes to deter sparrows, starlings, pigeons, seagulls and larger birds.

For a really simple approach, there's the bird slope. These angled, slippery panels are ideal for eaves, ledges, beams and other 90-degree areas where pest birds tend to nest and roost. Birds just slide off when they try to land. Another simple solution is bird gel. Easy to apply, gels create a sticky surface that really annoy pest birds. Safe for birds and people, gels are ideal for ledges, I-beams, parapet walls, conduit, pipes, and flat or curved surfaces.

For largeย  industrial or commercial garages, factories, airline hangars, courtyards, landfills, parking lots, or other commercial areas, bird misting systems are now available.ย  Both humane and effective, these bird-hazing systems work by releasing an ultra fine mist into the air that pest birds can't see and just don't like. The mist is a chemical called methyl anthranilate, a grape extract that naturally occurs in concord grapes. The extract has been widely used for decades to deter a wide variety of pest birds including, sparrows, pigeons, starlings, crows, blackbirds and geese.ย  Yet it's safe for people, pets, plants and birds.

Other commercial bird proofing solutions include the electric-track bird deterrents. Ideal for deterring all birds, they discourage birds from landing by conveying a mild electric shock thatโ��s harmless to birds. They also alter a birdโ��s habits to nest or feed. These are easily mounted on ledges, signs, rooftops, and flat or curved surfaces. They are low profile and virtually invisible once installed. If you choose this type of bird deterrent, opt for the flow-through design to keep water from damming up on rooftops and other surfaces. Get corrosion-resistant tracks that resist alkali and acidic environments.

A gardener's relationship with birds is one of mutual benefit. The gardener provides for a few of the birds basic needs, and the birds help to keep down the insect population while treating us to an unending source of entertainment. Birds take their role as insect predator seriously. A single bird will gulp down 500 to 1,000 insects in an afternoon.

Birds have four primary needs: food, water, shelter, and a place to raise a family. As you'll see, these needs are easily met.

Food

Two types of seeds, white proso millet and black oil sunflower seeds, will attract most common seed-eating birds. These two seeds should be the mainstay in your feeders. To broaden the diversity of birds visiting your feeders, add species-specific seeds such as red proso millet, black- and gray-striped sunflower seeds, Niger thistle (for goldfinches, pine siskins and purple finches), milo and peanut kernels (for chickadees and white tufted titmice).

Beef suet helps birds maintain their body heat in cold weather. Hang plastic mesh bags of suet or pinecones dipped in melted suet from tree limbs. Woodpeckers are particularly appreciative of this treat.

Deadheading, or removing spent blossoms, is the easiest way to keep plants blooming. Annuals especially will benefit from a periodic deadheading. Flowers are just there to produce seed. Once the plant sets seed, it has no more reason to produce flowers.


Many perennial flowers will also rebloom if deadheaded. Exceptions are perennials that bloom on a single tall flower stalk, like astilbe or iris and perennial flowers that need a chilling period to set their flower buds.

Water

An ideal water source for birds should be about three inches deep and three feet off the ground. Motion and sound will grab a bird's attention. You can create moving water by suspending a leaky container from a branch over a birdbath. Fountains and waterfalls are favorite hangouts for songbirds, and misters place in the plants near your birdbath will attract a variety of feathered visitors.

Shelter

Birds need shelter to protect them from the elements and allow them to hide from predators. Dense, twiggy shrubs and evergreens are the shelter of choice for most birds.

Nesting Sites

Different species of birds have different nesting requirements, and you can find ready-made bird houses or build-it-yourself plans for almost every species of bird. Choose birdhouses that are weather resistant and have a pitched roof to shed rain. There should be holes in the sides and bottom for ventilation and drainage. A hinged or removable roof is a bonus for you because it makes cleaning much easier. The birdhouse should be cleaned after each nesting season.

When hanging your birdhouse, position the entrance hole away from prevailing winds.
