See the results, ten years on

The Challenge

Persistent pigeon activity above a high-traffic entrance resulted in ongoing fouling, hygiene concerns, and increased cleaning costs. The location required a discreet and long-term solution that would not impact the building’s appearance.

The Solution

Bird Free Optical Gel dishes were installed along ledges where pigeons were roosting. This humane system works by emitting UV light that birds perceive as a visual threat, encouraging them to avoid the area entirely.

Results

Immediate reduction in pigeon presence
No fouling observed after installation
Consistent performance maintained over 10 years

Client Testmonial

“We installed Bird Free in April 2015 to prevent pigeons from fouling the entrance below. Having inspected the site, I can confirm it is still keeping pigeons away 10 years later.”
