Un ultrasonic sound device is a smart product choice because it is silent-to-humans.  The Super QuadBlaster QB-4 and the Ultrason X units fall into this category.  Also, keep in mind that physical deterrents such as Bird Spikes, a scent and taste aversion like Bird Stop, and visual scares such as the 3D-Coyote and Terror Eyes are silent as well.

Geese can be very stubborn and territorial birds.  One of our sonic repellers, the GooseBuster, was developed as a result of three decades of scientific research into the behavior and communication patterns of Canada geese.  A taste aversion such as Bird Stop helps makes grass and turf inedible to birds.  Visual scares like the 3D-Coyote and Gator Guard are also useful.  Ideally, combining all three approaches would be most effective.

The Super QuadBlaster QB-4 and the Transonic PRO are particularly effective against bats.  For more information, visit our Getting Rid of Bats page.

To keep pigeons from perching on ledges, sills, and other convenient surfaces, install Bird Spikes or apply Bird Proof Gel.  If it's a large outdoor area, the BirdXPeller PRO is effective; for smaller enclosed spaces, the Super QuadBlaster QB-4 is recommended.  The Terror Eyes unit is also very effective at deterring these stubborn pest birds.

Bird Netting can be used to keep birds away from specific areas, crops, vineyards, gardens, etc.  Sonic devices like the BirdXPeller PRO or the Super BirdXPeller PRO (depending on the size of the area) are recommended, along with visual scares such as Terror Eyes and Irri-Tape.

Let the environment be your guide.  A sound repeller works best when installed at the level of the pests, speakers facing the direction from which they arrive, with no walls or other structural barriers blocking the sound.  A visual deterrent will be most effective when mounted at the level of, close enough to, and easily visible to, the pests.  Spikes and Bird Proof Gel must be applied to each specific beam, ledge, sill, etc. on which birds are roosting.  Please read the instruction manual for the product you have selected.

Pest birds and other animals are smart and stubborn.  They quickly acclimate to visual devices that don't move and sound repellers that don't change pattern.  All Bird-X products are designed to maintain the element of surprise.  Our visual deterrents move and change with the wind and light, and some include always-changing holographic material that further confuses birds.  Our sound repellers are programmable to vary their species settings, frequencies, intermittence, hours of operation and more.

To permanently repel birds and prevent infestation, it is crucial to treat the problem and its source, not just the symptoms.  The only way to do this is to make the environment undesirable.  Because birds are often long-term visitors with a strong attachment to their habitat, it is critical to attack more than one sense.  For example, a sound repeller and a visual scare used together make the area seem threatening on two levels.  Each product helps to support the effects of the other, resulting in a higher probability of success overall.

It is wise to be cautious with any sound or light in our environment (i.e., avoid loud rock concerts, avoid staring directly at the sun).  Bird-X ultrasonic and laser repellers are not dangerous when used as directed.  Ultrasonic repellers can be loud, while registering above human hearing range.  Laser repellers are fully-registered and consumer safe, though still lasers.  We recommend both only at high ceiling levels, not near people for long periods of time.
