Do you own a business or manage a property in the Vancouver, BC area? If so, you know how important curb appeal can be. Regardless of how much effort you put into offering quality service, if passersby get the wrong impression of your business based on what they see from the street, they’ll be less inclined to become customers.
The problem is, many factors can influence (or detract from) your curb appeal. The presence of birds is one. If birds flock (no pun intended) to your property, they’ll crowd out the attractive qualities of your storefront, potentially leave behind droppings, and cause other issues, such as excessive noise.
You need to find a way to discourage birds from landing on your property that’s both humane and effective. We at Deturd Bird Control, serving business and property owners like you throughout Vancouver, offer the ideal solution: bird spikes.
These aren’t as harmful as they sound! On the contrary, installing bird spikes on your building is among the more humane bird control methods worth considering. This guide will explain what they are, and how they work.
How Bird Spikes Help Your Vancouver Business
Birds often gather around certain buildings and properties in large numbers when they’ve created their nests in those areas. With that in mind, one of your main goals should be to prevent them from building their nests on your property in the first place.
Bird spikes help in this capacity. They consist of extremely thin stainless steel wires that you can install on top of various surfaces on your property. These wires make it virtually impossible for birds to land on those surfaces. Naturally, that makes it impossible for birds to build their nests on them as well. Over time, this significantly reduces the likelihood of large groups of birds gathering around your business.
Key benefits of bird spikes include the following:
Humane Bird Control
Bird spikes allow you to keep birds away without hurting them. When birds encounter the spikes, they simply fly away immediately. There’s a reason the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources recommends bird spikes for those seeking humane bird deterrents.
Inconspicuous
Again, bird spikes are very, very thin. When you install them on a surface, unless you’re standing very close to it, they’re virtually invisible. After all, you want to keep birds away in part to maximize curb appeal.
Bird Spikes Are Versatile
Bird spikes can be installed on a wide range of surfaces, including pipes, beams, signs, and light poles. Ours come in 24-inch sections, boast UV protected polycarbonate construction, and can be installed with screws, caulking, or cable ties, depending on your preference. On top of all that, they don’t require any maintenance, ensuring you won’t have to devote time or money to keeping them in good condition over the years.
If all that sounds appealing to you, our team at Deturd Bird Control, serving Vancouver business and property owners, would be glad to equip you with effective bird spikes. To learn more, call us today at 604-716-7013.
