Optical Gel™

Welcome to Dawn of Modern Bird Control
Optical Gel is a multi-sensory bird repellent that deters birds using sight, smell and touch.
  • Sight: Dishes appear to be extremely detrimental to their safety (akin to fire or smoke) and avoid immediately
  • Smell: They can't stand the citronella and peppermint oil smell which to us is pleasant
  • Touch: They avoid sticky material (in the unlikely event they touch it)
  • Easy to install: Simply remove covers from dishes and glue, magnetically stick or zip-tie to the affected area
  • Where to use: Ledges, signs, balconies, soffits, beams, skylights, signs, roofs, HVAC equipment, enclosed spaces, etc.
  • Target bird: All species, all bird pressures (heavy, medium, and light)
  • Material: Citronella, peppermint oil, agar, beeswax
  • Installation: Dishes are glued to the surface, magnetically affixed to metal or zip-tied to a tubular or unusually-shaped base
  • Installation level: Easy
  • Very discreet: Dishes are only 2-1/2 in. diameter and 1/4 in. tall
  • How it works: Deters birds by using sight, smell and touch. Birds see fire or smoke, although there isn't any. They dislike the scent of peppermint oil. The gel is sticky if they do touch it.
  • Safe for the environment: Made of all-green ingredients
  • Longevity: Dishes are effective for 2 - 4 years.

Optical Gel is offered in a 24-pack for small jobs, and the 200-pack Contractor Box.

The 24-pack will cover 12-16 feet, single row in a straight line for ledges up to 6 inches wide. The disks should be no further than 6 inches apart, measured center to center. If the surface is wider, like a rectangle or a square, multiple rows will be required. The 24-pack is generally used on residential projects. Often two or more boxes are recommended depending on the scope of the work.

The 200-pack will cover a much larger surface area. You can protect up to 80 square feet with 200 disks. These are generally used on commercial projects.
