   As stated above, bird control is very rarely achieved
with one product or treatment.  Birds are able to fly.
Birds are very much creatures of habit.  Most important,
birds are often looked upon as special creatures which
deserve free reign to do as they please.  This freedom
comes with a price. Many bird infestations are left
alone to develop on signs, homes or roof tops because
the owner thought it was all right to leave them alone.
Once established, it may take mechanical alterations,
repellents and ultimately trapping to resolve conflicts.
This article will detail different bird problems and
offer products and solutions for any situation. Our
control methods progress from passive to aggressive 
control methods. Over the years, we have learned what
will work and how to do the work successfully.  If you
are reading this article, you are doing so because
you are having a problem with some type of bird and
you hope we have the solution. Read on because in all
likelihood, we do!
   Here are some of the more common bird problems we
receive calls about.
1) Birds roosting on a ledge of a home or window.
2) Woodpeckers pecking on the side of a house or
   making nests. (Most common on cedar homes.)
3) Sparrows harassing bluebirds or other small 
   desirable birds.
4) Starlings destroying plants or crops.
5) Geese or duck chewing turf and grass.
6) Swallows or other birds nesting on the side of
   buildings and homes.
7) Flocks of birds congregating on electric wires
   or trees making a mess with their droppings.
8) Some undesirable bird hogging all the bird seed
   in the bird feeder.
9) Too many of a local species which is stressing
   local plants and food supplies.
10)Different bird species which are either landing on
   decks, boats or other areas and then leaving
   a mess behind.
11)Birds which are seeing themselves in the windows of
   homes or autos and perceive themselves as a threat.
   They then fly repeatedly into the window over and
   over attempting to scare away the intruder never
   figuring out that what they are looking at is themselves.
12)Birds which are feeding on garden grown fruit and
   or vegetables.

   The problems listed above are meant to show what
some of the more common problems are around the 
world. In fact, birds cause many other problems; too
many for the body of this article to list. Problem birds
include starling, blackbirds, pigeons, sparrow, geese,
duck, woodpeckers, swallows, crow, and just about
any type of bird which is established in urban America.
Their droppings are unsightly and a health risk. Feeding
and foraging birds will cause a lot of damage to
plants, structure and landscape. And last but not least,
large bird activity will breed parasites like mites
and lice.  Birds are nice when they exist in the wild.
To keep them out of your home, off your buildings and
away from your garden and plants, there are several
things you can do.  This article will highlight your
options and list the products available for any
given situation. Everywhere you find a product listed
below which appears underlined, click on it to

   REPELLING BALLOONS, DISCS AND MOVING DEVICES
		
   Bird problems generally develop in stages and levels.
First, birds are noticed congregating around buildings,
land or trees. In most cases, the first activity is
barely noticed. If you have flocks of birds landing
on buildings, trees or any area you don't want them
to be on, you need to start bird control immediately
or risk having the problem escalate to levels which
are harder to control. Keeping birds away by using
blow up scaring devices will work when infestations
have just begun. Install some SCARY EYES or
TERROR EYES along roof tops or fence rows. These
balloons appear like a predator to many species
of birds and make them feel uncomfortable. It is
easy for them to relocate if they have only just
begun to settle on roost sights. Scary eyes and
Terror Eyes will solve initial problems with birds
which are simply hanging around where you don't 
want them to be. However, don't expect to get 
great results if the birds have nested and established
themselves. Once they have nests and young, Scary
Eyes and Terror Eyes will prove to be ineffective.
This may also prove to be the case if there are 
large flocks which are roosting. Such groups are
less likely to frighten easily.
   Several species of birds are very territorial. This
is commonly seen around bird feeders. Once established,
it is quite common to find a few dominant birds that
come and feed when they want. They will rule the feeder
and subordinate birds will simply wait their turn.
These same dominant birds can sometimes become a 
nuisance around the home. Many times they will see their
own reflection in a window of a home - particularly windows
which have some type of UV reducing treatment - and
perceive their reflection as a threat. To deal with this
threat, they will fly at the window attempting to scare
away the intruder. Obviously there is no bird to scare
away so their effort will become a nuisance if persistent.
There are two items that can eliminate this behavior. The
first is to install BIRD DISCS on every window that they
are attacking. These CD sized discs have a special
highly reflective finish, along with a picture of a
raptor (predatory bird), that causes them to become
frightened. This instinctive response is part of nature
and designed to alert small birds to the danger
birds like hawks present. They work great on windows,
gardens and basically anywhere you don't want birds
present. Once installed, the Discs should effectively 
stop them but in the rare cases where they still persist, 
you may have to install a MOVING SPIDER. This unique 
device has a sensor which detects vibration. When activated,
it will release an 18" long string which makes it appear
to be "jumping" at the nuisance bird. Since birds are
instinctively afraid of large animals or insects, they
will avoid anywhere these Spiders are installed. After
it "jumps", the Spider then rewinds the string internally
and basically resets itself. Within 30 seconds it is
poised to "jump" again. This device is excellent for
hanging on windows using the optional Suction Cups listed
on the product page. It is also the best device to stop Wood 
Peckers that are pecking somewhere you don't want them.
   Wood Peckers can become a nuisance when they decide
to use your home for nesting, feeding or territory marking.
If they are randomly pecking on the siding of the home
searching for food, the Liquid Repellent listed below -
which falls into the "Bad Tasting Repellent" section -
is probably your best means of protection. However,
if you have a few birds which are returning to the same
area of the home, the Bird Discs might help but the
Moving Spider will definitely stop them. The Spider
comes with two screws so it is ready to install under
eaves or on siding where they are landing. For some
reason Wood Peckers are afraid of spiders and will
avoid anywhere spiders are seen. Just hang some out
where they are landing and pecking and you will force 
them to go elsewhere (look under the "Sound" section
below for the "Bird Chaser" which is another good 
choice to keep away woodpeckers).
   If the birds are landing on boats, decks or
other areas from time to time and have begun
to leave their mess behind, you may need to take
the next step up from using just balloons. Though
balloons may move around slightly in the breeze
and their look is menacing, nothing will scare
a bird more than something which moves quickly.
JUMPING DEVICES do just that. They are wedged
together by a stretched bungy cord which then
causes them to "jump" at nuisance birds. The
birds perceive this as a direct predatory attack
and though they are not sure what it is attacking,
their survival instincts tell them it is best
to stay away from where this is happening.
Birds scare easily and flocks of 5, 50 or
more will all leave simultaneously as one becomes 
spooked. Jumping Devices are perfect to use on
boats, decks or patios where most of our strongest
repellents are simply too unsightly or smelly.
Use them in conjunction with balloons to get the
best results and be sure to have enough out. Try
to install one for every 10 sq/ft of deck or patio
space. They come with tie downs so they won't fall 
off boats or elevated decks. 
   Another device that you can install which birds
don't like is the FLOATING ALLIGATOR. This mock
replica of an alligator is sure to get the attention
of almost any bird in the south. The fake head is
made of styrofoam and floats. It has hooks on the 
bottom side which are used to attach anchors. The
anchors are then set on the bottom of the pond.
The line used to attach the Alligator needs to be
long enough to allow the Alligator to float around.
The floating action is just like the real thing -
an Alligator on the prowl! This one has eyes which
appear to be real and birds are very wary of it.
Set it out offshore where you want to keep birds away
from boat docks, shoreline, turf, swimming holes,
etc. This is very useful in any states where
Canadian Geese are active eating up everything
growing along shore line. When combined with the
liquid spray we have featured below you will put in
place enough repellent to make any bird think twice
about staying where you don't want them.
   One final device you might try using is the
MOTION ACTIVATED WATER SPRAYER. This device hooks
to your garden hose and has a motion detector
which sees anything moving in front of it for
about 40 feet. It is completely adjustable and
can be set for much smaller areas as well. The
sensor will detect anything moving and then
zero in on it releasing a three second blast of
water! It will effectively target birds, dogs,
cats, deer and just about any annoying animal
you don't want coming into the covered zone.
It can see about 40 feet out at over a 100 degree
angle. This means you may need to strategically
locate two or more around your property so that
birds entering from different areas will all
fall into the target range. The blast of water
is enough to spook any bird and within 10 seconds
the unit will reset awaiting the next target
to spray. Over a short period of time local
birds will learn to stay away from any property
which has this device set up and watching
24 hours a day.
   

       SCENTED AND IRRITATING REPELLENTS
		
   Once nest sights are established, you will need
to use a stronger repellent. There are many available
and all work better for some applications than the
others.  If you have birds hanging around and they
haven't responded to Terror or Scary Eyes, try one
of the scented repellents. Although birds can't
smell like people, these products emit scents
which cause a mild change in the birds physiological
state. This makes them uncomfortable with their
surroundings and makes them want to leave. Though
these products don't hurt the birds, the discomfort
is enough to send them along their way. For ledge,
roof tops and hard to reach areas, RID-A-CRITTER
is good to use. Apply it loose or in small sacks
made from nylon or cheesecloth. The product is
time released and will release scent for about
2-3 months. ROPEL GRANULES is another such product
which is better suited for ground treatments. 
If you want to get the best results, apply both.
They need to be reapplied every 2-3 months or
as conditions demand. Expect to have the birds
relocate for awhile but if there dependency and
love for where they were nesting or roosting is
too strong, they will return.
   To help let scented granules last longer, you can
install GRANULE GUARDS. They will protect the
granules from the rain and sun so they will last
longer. Each Guard will hold 1/2 lb of granules
and can be placed on the ground using the enclosed
spike or the spike can be removed so the Guard
will lie flat. These really pay dividends if you
want your granules to last as long as possible.
   If the scented repellents are not strong enough,
consider using one of the physical repellents. 
These products are different from the scented
materials because they will certainly cause
a higher level of discomfort. For small areas
along window sills, gutters or ledges, use
4-THE-BIRDS GEL. It comes in handy to use
cartridges which fit in caulking guns. Apply
it where the birds are landing and roosting.
It comes out thick and clear. 4-The-Birds will
adhere to any surface and lasts 6-12 months
per application. Rest assured birds will leave
treated surfaces. For big areas, use the liquid
form. 4-THE-BIRDS LIQUID is easier to apply
and covers a vast area. All you need is a regular
PUMP SPRAYER. 4-The-Birds will work on trees,
gutters, ledges, roof tops or any where birds
are roosting and nesting. It will soak into
porous surfaces which will take away from its
life and may discolor the treated surface as well.
If you don't want to change the color of the
material you intend to treat, it is suggested
you first treat a small area to see the impact
the material will have. In most cases, the
birds have littered the surface area to such
a degree the application of 4-The-Birds is
barely noticeable! However, expect to have to
reapply it more often if the surface area being
treated is absorbing the product.
   If the area you need to treat is subject to 
a lot of direct rain and/or sun which will diminish 
the length of time 4-The-Birds will last, you should 
considerinstalling some SPIKES. These plastic strips 
come with either plastic or stainless steel spikes
which point up. The plastic pointed polycarbonate 
will last decades and is barely noticeable when
applied on structures where cosmetics are a 
concern. The Stainless Steel design might be
considered if you feel you need something a little
stronger and if advisable for heavy commercial
applications.  The strips are flexible and easy to
bend around curved objects. Mount it with nails,
screws or adhesive. Once installed, birds will
avoid it. The physical repellents like 4-The-Birds
and Spikes work fast. They are noticed immediately
by nuisance birds which will be forced to find
another location. Choose either product depending
on how long you need it to last.


BAD TASTING REPELLENTS (USE FOR WOODPECKERS AND CANADIAN GEESE)
		
   If the problem is damage being done to plants
or turf, you have two products which can be used.
ROPEL LIQUID is great for small areas. It comes
in a liquid ready to spray or can be diluted.
It will stop birds from pecking at plants, shrubs,
flowers or berry bushes. It leaves a terrible taste
on treated surfaces and birds will detect it
quickly. Don't treat vegetables directly as you 
will have a residual taste most people don't like.
Ropel won't hurt the birds, it just chases them
away to find other food supplies. Ropel should
also be used for Wood Peckers. Most Wood Peckers
peck houses because they are either searching
for food or marking territory. Ropel will stop them
from either behavior immediately. Spray it on the
siding, gutters or chimney - wherever the wood pecker
is active. It will surely get them to move elsewhere.
If they have started a nest, you may need to 
use the product listed above called Liquid 4-The-Birds.
It will make the nest sight so intolerable the
wood pecker will surely leave. 
   If birds are eating vast turf areas like
Canadian Geese or certain ducks will do, use
GOOSE CHASE. This material tastes bad to them and
they will stay off treated surfaces. Use our
Pump Sprayer for doing the application. To get the
best results, apply it after setting out some Bird
Tape (listed below) or use it in conjunction with the 
Floating Alligator. The Goose Chase will only remain 
active 2-4 weeks. This is because the formulation is
broken down by the sun rather quickly to insure
it won't spread into water ways. If you have a lot
of bird pressure and want to make sure they move
out for good, use the BIRD TAPE. It will last
a long time if needed. Set out 2 foot pieces, 2-3
on a stake, around the yard or turf area. Bird
Tape reflects the sun and birds will see 
several images from the reflections which will
irritate, scare and intimidate them. When combined
with Goose Chase, you will get great results.
Once the birds have moved to other areas to 
feed, you can remove the tape. In most cases,
treatments will displace birds and they will
stay away for the season. Expect to retreat
annually or as needed.


			SOUND REPELLENTS
	
   There are several sound devices which have been
used for bird control over the years but only three
designs have been found to be effective. These include
Ultra Sound, Distress Sound and Loud Sound. Ideally,
Ultra Sound would be the only type needed but due
to it's limited coverage area, Ultra Sound can only
be used for special types of problems. Don't be
misled by any ads or claims by Ultra Sound manufacturers
that their device will keep all the birds away for vast
areas; such claims are misleading. Though ultra sound can 
work in small areas, it is at best suited for inside, 
ceiling mounts or peripheral areas immediately adjacent
to buildings and other structures. This is due largely
to the basic problem of Ultra Sound Projection. At this
time, it is difficult to get Ultra Sound to maintain
its "sound wave" structure. In other words, when Ultra 
Sound is broadcast out over wide open spaces, the sound 
waves loose their impact rapidly and dissipate. For 
this reason, Ultra Sound is not practical or effective 
for large areas like fields, yards, runways at an air
port with wide open extensive expanses. However, when 
mounted on the ceiling of an overhang, carport or 
other structure which can provide a flat surface to help 
keep the sound together and strong, Ultra Sound can work. 
This part of any structure will provide a "sound board" 
that will enable the Ultra Sound to travel great 
distances and still keep it's wave pattern. The best unit
for such applications is the ULTRA SOUND CEILING UNIT.
Its great for areas where people are present.
It makes no noise audible to people, but the series
of sounds it emits distresses birds. It mounts on
ceilings or walls and is designed for loading docks, attics,
tunnels, canopies, tents, terraces, sheds or anywhere
that has protection overhead to keep rain and water
off the device. The sound pattern emitted by
the unit will confuse and generally make nuisance
birds, including pigeons, starlings and sparrows,
uncomfortable. This unsure feeling makes the birds
move elsewhere looking for some place else to
roost and nest. If you don't have a ceiling on
which to mount the unit and are having a problem
in an area which is largely wide open, consider
the ULTRA SOUND 4S. This design uses the same range
of sound as the Ceiling Unit but is designed with
versatility. It features a base unit from which four 
individual speakers can be powered. Sound is then
sent to the speakers intermittently. The speakers
will project the sound in a directional fashion
allowing you to get very specific coverage. Ideally
the speakers should be set at the elevation where
the birds are present. If there are multiple heights
of activity, install one speaker for every 10
feet of air space you want to protect. Though total
coverage per speaker is less then 1000 sq/ft, 
multiple speakers - and in some cases several base
units - all working together can achieve very good
results. Each speaker comes with 100 feet of cable
allowing them to be both discreetly placed and to
be mobile if needed. The BIRD DISTRESS EMITTER is
designed to be used outside where birds are roosting
and or places where you want to keep birds away 
period. This may be a roof, garden, ledge, trees,
signs or anywhere nuisance birds are active.
The device is weather proof and emits a series of
distress sounds as well as predatory noises
which will work on several species of birds. 
This unit can be set to sound off day and night
and will cover a large area. For smaller applications,
the BIRD CHASER may be better suited. It too uses
a motion detector but has a much smaller range.
Furthermore, it will only operate when there is
light. This unit is ideal for spot applications
when you have birds landing somewhere that you
don't want them. For example, if you have a wood
pecker that insists on "sounding off" using some
part of your home, the Bird Chaser can put an
end to this behavior. Just mount it close by,
turn it on and let the predatory bird sounds scare
away the nuisance bird.
   If the problem you are having is with Canadian
Geese and they are distributed over a large area,
consider installing our GOOSE BUSTER. This device
uses loud audible sounds which are basically distress
and alarm sounds which geese and ducks will recognize.
Once alerted, they will relocate to another area.
This system is the end result of many years of research
and observation. Actual sounds were recorded during
that time and then tested to see their impact when
broadcast over large areas. The end result is a machine
which is able to broadcast alarm and alert sounds
over many acres so that nuisance Canadian Geese, Ducks
and Seagulls can be effectively chased away. If you
have a large area that needs protection, the Goose
Buster will be the most practical and efficient
way to address the problem. Of course, it can be used
for small lots of an acre or less and will prove to
be quite effective. This is a great tool for anyone
who has a waterfront property or other natural landscape
in which these birds are a problem.
   The last type of sound repeller is the loud canon
type that will scare birds off for great distances. Though
not suited for residential areas, this device is ideal
for open fields, pastures, airports, parking lots, roof
tops in commercial areas and basically anywhere you can
install a device that will emit a loud - almost sonic
booming blast - every few minutes. Our device is powered
by propane and features an adjustable valve regulator
so you can slow or hasten the gas flow as needed. 
Once enough gas enters the unit, it will combust causing
a loud blast that will frighten any type of bird. Coverage
can be from 1 to several acres and operating costs are
inexpensive. Our BIRD/ANIMAL CANNON is easy to move around,
can be set right out in the open and takes only minutes
to configure. If you are in a heavily wooded area or 
where there are a lot of plants to block the sound, get
the CANNON TRIPOD. This stand will hold both the Cannon
and the propane tank. Furthermore, the mount is like a
lazy Susan so it can rotate 360 degrees. You can even
get the CANNON TIMER which will enable you to set a time
window each day for when the unit will sound. This time
frame may be during the day or night and once set, will
sound every day during this "window". This unit is very
powerful so it's not generally used in residential settings.
However, many people have used them in such areas by 
manually controlling the unit turning it on when needed 
and then off when nuisance birds leave. Since the sound
will work on just about any bird including crows, sea
gulls, geese, ducks, starling, cowpies, grackels and
sparrows, it's applications are limitless.


            NETTING AND SCREENING
			
   In some cases birds can be destructive when they choose
to feed on gardens, plants or some kind of crop. There
are many birds which will feed on fruit or vegetables and
if you have a garden which is being preyed upon, protecting
it with some NETTING might be your best option. We have
two grades that can be wrapped around the plant. Netting
is easy to use and install so all you need is access
to the plant you want to protect. Just cut the Netting to
the needed size and secure it with cable ties. Though
some of the fruit may still be reachable, most should
be protected. This netting comes in a fine mesh, which
is suitable for most types of protection needs, and
won't have any impact on the growth of the plant. Netting
will let all the sun in that's needed but it will
serve to cut down on damage caused by foraging birds or
nuisance animals. It will also work great as a cover for 
small ponds where koi fish are kept. These ponds tend to 
attract predatory birds like hawks. If you are having
a problem with any type of bird preying on your
stocked fish, installing some netting will help to
keep them out.

   When you have a structure design that attracts birds
for roosting or nest creation, installing some Netting 
can usually get them to stop when properly placed. You
may have to use the netting to close off some access
point or make a certain area unreachable. For example,
netting which installed under eaves or overhangs below
roof tops is an effective deterrent to stop barn
swallows from building their nests which they love to
place at this location. Usually the fine mesh will
do the job and should be mounted with NETTING CLIPS.	
These will allow you to secure the netting and pull
it tight over the area you want to protect. In the
rare cases where our Regular or Heavy Duty mesh isn't
strong enough, you might choose to install some
SCREENING. This is a poly (plastic) as well - like
the netting - but is more rigid and much stronger.
Generally used to keep bats out of structures, this
product will stand up much better when you are dealing
with some type of large, strong or persistent bird.
It too can be mounted with the Clips but it is strong
enough to be stapled or nailed down as well.


      		BIRD TRAPPING

   When all of the above are not providing good 
enough control, the only option left is to trap
the birds. There are several traps designed today
which work for just about any nuisance bird you
may encounter. Trapping birds is easy. First, you
need to establish a feeding location. This is done
by placing a known seed or food they like to eat
at a specific place. Use either CRACKED CORN, 
SUNFLOWER SEEDS or WILD SEED MIX. Be sure to keep
the supply available by replacing it daily if
needed. The goal here is to get the target birds 
feeding where you will be able to set a trap. Try
to use a location that will make the birds
comfortable. Such areas include a flat roof,
a large vacant lot or asphalt area, wide
open fields, or elevated platforms. Although
you can use a small backyard, be sure to keep
children, pets and people away so the birds
will become secure and feed naturally. Once you
have a feeding location established, pick a
trap which is designed for your application.
The following list starts with our smaller 
traps shown first.
 
CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR NH8216 SPARROW TRAP
   The NH8126 is a small trap designed for
dealing with a small problem. It features
two entrances and uses half of the trap
for a holding area. It can hold 10-20 birds
and measures
8.5"T x 12"W x 16"L.

   Here is a short video showing some sparrows
trapped and released.



CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR "NH8124 FUNNEL TRAP"
   This unique trap is designed to be placed over
a nest which is made in the side of a building or
tree. Once installed, the birds will have to enter
it to leave their nest. Once inside, they cannot
escape. Great to use for woodpeckers and swallows,
though it will work for any nesting bird.  This
trap measures 8"D x 10"W x 24"L.

CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR "STARLING/SPARROW FUNNEL TRAP"
   This unique trap is designed to work on at least
two types of birds. It has a couple of features which
makes it very adaptable and effective. Ideal for
either Starlings or Sparrows, this trap has two
holding areas. The trap measures 10" tall, 16"
wide and 24" long. The first compartment has two
"funnel" doorways. It takes up about 1/2 of the trap.
The second compartment has one funnel doorway
but this entrance is in the middle of the trap
and can only be accessed if birds have first
entered the first compartment. Click the link
above to learn how to best use this trap. This
trap measures 10"T x 16"W x 24"L.

CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR "T502 PIGEON TRAP"
   Our T502 Pigeon trap has two swing door entrances
which let birds in but not out. This folding design
is easy to move and will hold 5-20 birds. May be used
for doves and other birds of similar size.  This
trap measures 12"T x 16"W x 24"L.

CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR "LT82428P PIGEON TRAP"
   Our LT82428P Pigeon trap has two door entrances
per side and uses a one way funnel design instead
of the more traditional swing type door. This trap
is light, features a large access door and though
only 8 inches tall, can handle 20 or more birds.
Excellent choice for most applications and a popular
seller that works well. This trap measures 8"T x 24"W x 28"L.

CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR "NH2436 PIGEON TRAP"
   Our NH2436 Pigeon trap has eight swing door entrances
which let birds in but not out. This trap has a large
access door for easy bird removal and with all the
extra featured doors is a good small design that can
handle 25 birds or more with one set.   This
trap measures 9"T x 24"W x 36"L.

CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR "NH2448 PIGEON TRAP"
   Our NH2448 Pigeon trap is large with 8 entrances.
Like the T502, it utilizes swing doors to let birds
in but not out. It can hold over 50 birds at a time.
This trap measures 24"T x 36"W x 48"L.

CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR "LT82484 PIGEON TRAP"
   This is our largest trap overall yet it is surprisingly
light and easy to manage. It comes in three hinged sections
which fold open creating a trap which has 12 entrances.
There are 6 doors per outside section which allow for
pigeons to enter. From there they can enter the main
or center holding area of the trap. Though large, this
trap is designed to hold about 25 birds per section.
Since it has two sets of doors through which pigeons
need to enter to get to the middle section, once
trapped birds are less likely to escape. It uses the
new funnel type one way door system like the LT82428P. 
This trap measures 8"T x 24"W x 84"L.

CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR "NH6057 STARLING/SPARROW TRAP"
   The NH6057 Starling trap is huge. It can hold
hundreds of starlings. Once they enter the V-Top
entrance, they can't escape. You can order a special
reducing baffle which adjusts the entrance so that
it will only work for sparrows.  This trap measures
5'W x 5'L x 6'T.

   Once you have trapped birds that you want to

a carry case for easy transport. They come in easy
to use wire cages which have doors for easy loading.

   Nuisance birds can be a problem around homes and
other buildings. There are several repellents available
which can help to keep them away. Although you may be
able to chase the birds away with one product, most
cases require using a combination of products to get
the best results. The level of repellent you need to
use will vary from species of bird to how extreme of
an infestation you have. Ultimately, you may have no
choice but to trap unwanted birds.
