Bird Netting
The netting, if properly installed to ensure no gaps, presents an impenetrable barrier to keep birds away from surfaces being protected.

Bird Netting can be used on virtually any building, large or small.

Bird netting can be fitted vertically or horizontally in small or large areas.

Well installed Ace Bird Net of the right size, is the only proofing solution which can be offered to solve virtually any urban bird problem.

Materials are Polyethylene or Polypropylene netting, with a steel suspension system.

The most popular colour is black, but on light coloured buildings, stone coloured netting may be preferable.

Point Systems
Avipoint™ comprises upward pointing stainless steel wires, all cut square, so that birds will not injure themselves.

Avipoint™ P4 (2 + 2 wires, strip 33cm long)
Avipoint™ P6 (4 + 2 wires, strip 33cm long)

Both are used for medium to heavy pressure areas for pigeons and gulls.

Avipoint™ G6 (4 + 2 wires) has longer stainless steel wires. More suited to heavier-bodied gull species.

The U/V stable plastic base is normally secured using neutral curing silicone adhesive, but can be rivetted, screwed etc.

Uses: ledges, parapets, window reveals, cornices, signage, street lighting, bridges and other structures. (Culling of resistant birds may be necessary soon after installation).

Bird Wire Systems

New - Bird-Shock Flex-Track system (for all sized birds)
A humane, electrified bird deterrent for all bird species - gulls, pigeons, even small birds. Suits any architectural configuration to bird proof building structures such as signs, parapets, ledges, arches, roof ridges, beams & pergolas. Consists of a low visibility "hot jolt" system - discreet 6mm high electrified track permits total exclusion.

Bird Wire System of Birdproofing
One or more rows of thin wire, tensioned with springs, are held just above the surface being protected. Steel components are 316 grade stainless steel.

Uses: Parapets, ledges, signs, beams, pipes etc.
(Culling of resistant birds may be necessary soon after installation).

Ace Bird Brush

When correctly fitted Bird Brush excludes birds such as sparrows, and rodents such as mice, from gaining entry into buildings. It is fitted to seal gaps at the top, sides and bottom of external doors.

Ace Bird Brush comprises bristle brush fitted into extruded aluminium carriers or with flat or 90 degree angle flanges for fixing. The most common bristle lengths are 50, 75, 100, 175mm most in sections of 2.6 metres.

Ace BulbSeal - Effective against ALL BIRDS & RODENTS

This is a rubberised bottom door seal able to be fitted to most lift-up metal doors. The design of the bulb seal allows it to compress firmly against the ground when the doors are closed, providing a most robust and effective barrier. Suitable for gaps up to 35mm, and available in 30 metre coils.

For more information click the Bird Brush button at the top of this page

This is a polybutyl gel, applied using a caulking gun, and sealed with a special "skinning" fluid, brush applied. Gel coverage is approximately 4 metres per tube.

Bird Gel will provide a short-term solution, provided it is used in light pressure areas only.

The Bird Gel forms an unstable surface for birds to stand on. However, to remain effective it will need to be replaced within 1-2 years. It becomes hard, dirty and difficult to remove.

Uses: Commercially - for pigeons, starlings on ledges, parapets, signage, beams, pipes, and domestically - on television aerials, pergolas etc, for sparrows, mynahs and starlings

CageTraps

Separate bird cage traps are available for pigeons, magpies, sparrows/starlings/mynahs. These are robust galvanised wire cages.

Barrier Coil™

Effective against pigeons in light pressure areas,
Barrier Coil is an extendable stainless steel coil, held in place with a variety of fixings, including glue. It presents a physical barrier to birds landing and is an unstable platform for them to stand on.

Uses: Long ledges, parapets, ridges, girders and signs.

Daddi Long Legs^™-

This system is a series of stainless steel wires tipped in plastic fitted on a self-lubricating Delron base. The top rotating part of the Daddi Long Legs is easily unclipped from its base if work is to be carried out on the proofed structure. Two types: 1.25 metre and 2.5 metre diameters.

Uses: Surfaces which require regular access for maintenance, such as silo tops, air conditioning units, ventilation plants, etc.. (Do not use in areas which are used heavily by birds during the day, or where they roost at night or are nesting.)
Effective against Pigeons and Gulls in light pressure areas.
