Visual Deterrents
Visual Bird Deterrents
Looking to scare birds away for good? Decoy owls and other predators, reflective and holographic devices, optical gel, bird scare balloons, fly away lasers, and other visual deterrents keep pest birds away. Visual bird deterrents work by using bright colors, motion, flashing lights, and other signs of danger to frighten birds away from a home, garden, business, or other type of property. When used correctly, bird scaring devices make pest birds such as pigeons, crows, and starlings so uncomfortable that they will fly off and not return.
How to Scare Birds Away For Good
Bird scaring devices can be ineffective if used incorrectly (have you seen a picture of a plastic owl decoy covered in bird feces with a pigeon on its head?). Visual bird deterrents are only successful when they create so much fear that pest birds are willing to leave behind any food, water, or protection found on the site. Scaring birds off can range from easy (a flock of starlings) to difficult (a woodpecker in established territory). Established birds will fight much harder to stay at a site than newcomers. Scare tactics and visual deterrents should be used as soon as possible after pest birds arrive at a site. Remove all food and water sources in the area to maximize success. Scare devices by themselves are not a substitute for exclusion techniques or products. In high pressure areas that offer attractive habit and abundant food and water, visual deterrents can be used together with exclusion products to scare birds away and keep them off your property for the long term.

$88.85 - $135.85Scare OwlsNon-moving plastic owls are ineffective, that's why we developed this rotating, screeching owl. Four predator/scare sounds are programmed: birds in distress, predator attack cries, and wing beats. The rotating base mounts easily to any flat surface, and spins in the wind. A photo cell activates the sounds during daylight hours only. Sold one per package.
$34.00The IntimidatorThe Intimidator is a professional grade avian deterrent which uses motion and bright flashing to scare away woodpeckers and other birds from unwanted areas. Woodpeckers can cause serious damage to homes and other buildings. This deterrent is lightweight and needs very little air current to create a dynamic visual effect that frightens birds. It mounts easily to any wood surface with a single screw. Must be mounted so as to reflect flashes onto the side of the structure. Most structures require multiple units to protect all sides.
$8.40Scare Eye BalloonsThe bright color, large eyes and hanging reflective streamers on this 2 ft. balloon are threatening to birds; they think they're being watched by a predator. Sold one per package.
$496.40 - $721.05Fly Away LasersYou have probably known for a few years now that lasers are highly effective tools to solve bird problems. The problem was that lasers powerful enough to do the job cost too much.
