Description
The ‘easy to instal’ motion-activated Balcony Guard is the most silent ultrasonic repeller on the market.
Great for patios, decks, and balconies, however is also very effective on boats, campsites, and other areas around the home. The low profile unit emits ultrasonic (inaudible) sounds that annoy and irritate many birds as well as deterring Bats and small pests. Ultrasonics work on line of sight and does not penetrate solid objects or turn corners.
The Balcony Guard has the lot! The unit comes with multiple settings for your convenience and to increase efficiency with different pests.
Operates with 240v or C size batteries (Not included).
Includes the 240V plug with 10 meters of wire.
If you require a solar powered only ultrasonic repeller, the Solar Roof and Boat Guard or Solar Roof and Boat Guard Kit is also suitable with similar coverage.
Repels most pests, including bats, birds, pigeons, crows, rodents, possums, rabbits…and more! Just adjust the settings accordingly. Will not work on magpie larks (pee wees )smashing into windows
Please note: To deter Myna Birds or Blackbirds, the Yard Sentinel or Bird Xpeller Pro is a better choice than the Balcony Guard as it is able to be used with Sonic volume which for Myna birds achieves better results than ultrasonics alone.
- The Balcony Guard will not affect domestic pets (Dogs and Cats)
- Range is 65sqm (approx 8 x 8 metres)
- Weatherproof
- The Balcony Guard is designed to break the habit of the birds. This can take anywhere between 1-2 weeks and at times another layer of deterrent may be required. Ultrasonics work in line of sight and do not penetrate solid objects or turn corners. A small percentage of people may be able to hear a sound so repositioning it will reduce this.

I’m so very pleased to share this review on my experience with this company.
My problem was specifically with myna birds during the day and fruit bats at night so I called the team at Bird Control Australia who recommended using the Balcony Guard and the Yard Sentinel RC.
The Yard Sentinel needed to be on day and night with the optional sonic volume on during the day only as it is essential for deterring mynas.
The Balcony Guard was to give us the additional coverage required for deterring the bats as they were in a tree but we were mindful of not using sound at night. We needed something silent.
Well, not even a week on and both off the pests have disappeared!
Had I not contacted the team, I probably would have purchased the wrong product and had a different result.
I am most impressed with how easy they were to contact, how friendly they were to converse with and how quickly the products arrived.
These guys are based in Sydney and are the real deal. Cant say I have ever had such a great experience buying something online.
Keep up the great work team! Thanks again!

I purchased a Balcony Guard to try and deter the bats in the tree and it is working!
Very pleased to report this as people have been telling me there is no way to deter bats and I thought I’d be stuck with them forever. Now I just want to let everyone know!
Thanks Bird Control Australia for your suggestion.
Such an added bonus to be dealing with an Australian company with real people to talk to.

Does it work for ducks? I need to keep ducks out of our pool…
Joseph Bav –
The Balcony Guard and sound devices in general do not tend to work on ducks.
We have several products starting from the Motion Activated sprinkler to the Outdoor Laser (Night time use only) up to the Hawk Laser.
Here are the links:

All the above have work very well in deterring ducks.

Can you please advise if this product is suitable for bush Turkey repelling ? Thks
Bird Control Australia –
Hi Robyn, The Motion Activated sprinkler works great for Bush Turkeys.

We have an apartment on the ocean front with an abundance of seagulls, pigeons and most recently swallows – the perching and pooping activities were unbearable – we installed the Bird Control Balcony Guard and not a scrap of bird poo or perching ever since – brilliant- highly recommend. In fact we think it’s so good we’ve bought another to instal on another balcony.
Keir Walsh –
Fixed to my deck and doing a great job deterring swallows from my boat even nearly a year on. Nice work
Emi –
The Balcony Guard has been great for deterring pigeons from our home. I love how quiet it is. Recently I purchased a second unit and thought I would see if it would also deter the possum and it did! Love it!

So many birds this year! We live in the country and spring is hard but it’s been relentless throughout winter this year. My daily routine included cleaning up bird poo and as spring kicks in, polishing any reflective surface that had been attacked (not to mention the noise of them throwing themselves at the windows). But no more! I was sceptical but I needn’t have been. I’d been through the entire Bunnings range of preventative measures but nothing worked. ‘Jake the fake’ owl was useless. Your balcony guard has done the trick! It took about ten days for there to me a ‘moving on’ feel, and while there’s the odd one that still likes to poo on the deck railings, they don’t stay, they don’t sleep overnight and the problem is 90% resolved. I can live with that as I’m confident that when spring settles, it will be towards 100%. We are so happy. Years of fighting, moaning and cleaning are over. Now we’re ordering one for our open fronted shed.
Emily Gatwood –
Seems great so far. We had it on the battery powered sensor mode so it would only go off if the sensor was detected and our awful myna birds outsmarted that and found ways around setting it off and continued to poo all over our new deck. However we’ve now run an extension cable to use continual ac power and we didn’t see them yesterday so that’s great.
Kelly Kim –
This unit relieved us of our possum problem. We initially bought it to deter birds so this was an added bonus! Highly recommend 😀
Dawn Reed from Townsville –
I purchased the balcony guard as I had a terrible problem with swallows. I have been very happy with it. It has worked a treat. Thank you
Jeremy –
NO MORE BATS! It’s so great to not have to be cleaning up purple bat poo anymore.
Not sure why this unit is so effective but it is! Thanks for your recommendation and advice guys! Terrific result 🙏
Ari VelOak –
I saw signs of pigeons starting to nest under our solar panels almost immediately after they were installed. Very happy with the Balcony Guard. It is now protecting my solar panels from nesting bird life. May thanks.
James H –
It’s so great to finally find a bird scarer for my boat which looks good, is modern and highly effective! Great job guys! 👍
Karen –
We live in Brisbane and have a huge tamarind tree near our pool that the bats feasted on every night. Every morning we would have to use Harsh cleaners and scrub to remove the poo. It took about a week for us to get the right position and we can happily say that for the last month we have had no bat poo what so ever! This is the best $100 I have ever spent, if you have a bird or bat problem this is honestly the way to go. Definitely definitely works.
Susan Jeffrey –
I am SO happy I purchased the 2 Balcony Guards. The magpies have all but vanished. You under promised and over delivered. Thank you
Laimy Hicks –
Just wanted to let you know the Balcony Guard we purchased from you is working like a charm. Thanks for all your advice!
Pavla Rada- VIC –
Thank you, I’m VERY happy with both ( Balcony Guard +reflecting tape). I didn’t believe it, but very first day birds disappeared! I have fruit trees, at the moment plums, figs and persimmons ripening – thanks I don’t have to run to the garden every ten minutes clapping hands!
Madeline G. VIC –
Highly recommend it! I could not be happier with the Balcony Guard! We had all types of birds in our eaves and on our deck. Sparrows, blackbirds and swallows. It seems they just cant stand it. I’ve been telling lots of people how fantastic it it. Thanks team:)
Angelo- Customer Operations Coordinator –
We have placed several Balcony Guards in different areas of our shopping centre where pigeons have been present for quite some time and the have definitely reduced the problem. Thank you
Maryanne Baker- QLD –
Bye bye swallows
We have a beautiful country home which also became home to the swallows who were nesting in the eves on 4 sides of the house.
We installed one Balcony Guard on each side after cleaning out all of their mess and we haven’t seen any swallows since. I hope they’ve found a cosy new home elsewhere
Craig –
Successful thank goodness
I was pretty sceptical about using this to get rid of pigeons but have been pleasantly surprised with the results. We are still using it 4 months on but the pigeons haven’t returned
Maru –
No more pigeons
The Balcony Guard from Bird Control Australia got rid of the pigeons in our balcony after trying so many different methods. We highly recommend it!
Sophia Galanos –
Success!
Finally – no birds no mess! There was no stopping them before balcony guard! Once we got our positioning right we had success! Thank you!
Mary-Anne Kingston –
Fantastic for swallows!
The Balcony Guard rid us of our swallow problem in the shed! Hoping to have to same effect on the mynas on the deck with the new one we bought
Lyn –
Fantastic!
the Balcony Gard got rid of the birds, rats and mice in my barn.
We are so happy with this product and recommend to all.
We are happy that it is a silent alternative as well.
thank you!
Louise Fish –
IT DOES WORK !!!
I just wanted to say how fantastic the Balcony Guard is. We installed it on Wednesday and the birds are only now coming in very infrequently if at all.
We had to be persistent and chase them off when we first installed it so that they felt that this was not a comfortable place to settle. After having done that for a few nights and days we now don’t have any birds.
This will save my verandah furniture and also the paint on the walls. We have had to repaint a twice because of the mess of the birds. The mess was all over the walls, windows and doors. It is lovely to be able to go out onto the verandah and use the space now.
Thank you again.
