Protect your building with proven solutions from Bird Barrier.

BUILDING TRIM

Evict Unwanted Bird Tenants

Pest birds love architectural trim for the same reasons they like other tight corners: protection and shelter. Architectural flourishes are generally undisturbed by people, so they make perfect spots for building nests. However, bird droppings can ruin the building’s appearance and create a health hazard for the occupants.

Protect your investment with effective bird deterrents from Bird Barrier.

Cozy Corners Are Off Limits

The tighter the opening, the more protection it affords from the elements and from predators. Pest birds such as pigeons, sparrows, and starlings flock to these cozy corners because they provide an excellent place to build a nest and raise a family.
