Following extensive trials, Cleankill Pest Control is now using a special non-toxic gel as part of its armoury against pest birds.
The Bird Free gel reflects ultraviolet light and appears to birds as flames and keeps pest birds off structures without harming them. Rather than acting as a barrier like netting or spikes, the gel alters birds’ behaviour. Birds will completely desert a habitat, even one they have been using for years, once Bird Free has been applied.
The product is applied in 8mm high dishes which are placed behind the leading edge of a parapet or ledge. This makes the dishes invisible from ground level making them ideal for use on listed buildings.
Bird Free has been installed at thousands of commercial sites worldwide. These include airports, government offices, sports stadiums, railway stations, hospitals, factories, pylons, bridges, historic buildings, and many other locations where birds had previously been a nuisance or a health hazard. It is durable, even in the most exposed locations and not adversely affected by extremes of temperature, wind, rain or snow.
Cleankill Pest Control's Managing Director Paul Bates explains: “We’ve had some excellent results with Bird Free, particularly where we’ve combined it with other bird control methods. Customers with listed buildings have been particularly pleased as the gel is much less obtrusive than netting. It is also good for the environment and wildlife as it is non-toxic which fits with our ‘green’ ways of working.”

- Bird Free is a patented preparation containing natural, active ingredients that keep birds off structures without harming them.
