Inten Bird Smart
28/02/2012
The challenge of finding effective, safe and humane methods of pest control, particularly birds, is a laborious task, not to mention the cost of cleaning up after them. If your site is peppered with pigeons, or any other roosting bird and their droppings, it is not only unsightly, but also comes with health risks to you and your employees.
Pigeons can carry a number of potentially infectious diseases such as salmonella and tuberculosis. They are also a source of allergens, which can cause respiratory problems and allergic skin reactions.
There is potential for these illnesses to be spread to people through contact with pigeon droppings, dandruff and feathers, pigeon parasites or where dead infected pigeons get into food or water sources. Not only potentially damaging to human health, the acid in bird droppings eats into soft stone and paintwork causing considerable damage to buildings and cars. Their droppings and feathers can also block gutters and rainwater pipes causing water damage.
Unsuccessful Traditional Solutions
You may have tried all the traditional methods of dealing with the outcome of being invaded such as scaring methods like ultra sound devices, predator birds, anti-roosting devices or netting. However, within weeks or months the pests will return, creating a problem once more.
The Inten Solution - Bird Smart
Inten can now offer you a revolutionary an exciting, new and highly effective bird repellent in the form of a gel produced from natural food grade ingredients. It is installed in small containers at intervals along the surfaces where the birds usually roost, repelling these pests for you, without causing them harm.
The product is a yellowy orange gel which is put into clear, shallow plastic dishes. These dishes are then stuck down at regular intervals to ledges, pipes and other favourite roosting spots.
Invented by Korean bio-scientists and installed at commercial sites worldwide over the last five years, including historic buildings, offices, warehouses, airports, oil terminals, railway stations, bridges and even offshore platforms, the gel has a proven history of effectiveness.
Blazing sun, snow or torrential rain does not affect the Gel which has proven to be still effective up to 4 years after installation, even when used in harsh environments, including salt water sea lanes.
3 Bird Smart Deterrents
Visual
The birds see the Gel as FIRE (due to the harmless UV light) and therefore a hazard area to avoid, and prevents them roosting. This is one of the key reasons the product works so quickly and effectively.
Smell and Taste
The birds find this abhorrent and another good reason to avoid the area. The scent of mild herbal cinnamon and peppermint is not unpleasant to humans.
Touch and Feel
Any direct contact with the gel produces a stinging sensation (comparable to stinging nettles on humans) which will cause no lasting injury to birds, animals or humans, but will cause discomfort for a period, until the effects wear off.
