Bird Control Systems

Bird control systems are designed to manage and mitigate issues related to birds, particularly in urban or industrial settings where their presence can lead to various problems. Birds can cause damage to property, create health hazards, and pose safety risks.

Birds Control Spikes​

Stainless-steel bird spikes on UV-resistant bases deter roosting without harm, fitting most surfaces and available in many sizes

Bird Control Netting​

Bird control netting is a humane barrier that blocks birds from roosting or nesting in buildings, farms, and industrial areas
Uncontrolled bird activity can damage structures, disrupt operations and pose health risks. Our Bird Control Systems provide tailored deterrent and exclusion solutions for buildings, industrial sites and urban zones — ensuring clean, safe and compliant environments.

Bird deterrent systems

Deterrent systems are designed to discourage birds from landing, roosting or nesting on structures. They include physical, auditory, and visual solutions.

Typical deterrents include:

  • Bird spikes or wire strips on ledges and parapets

     

  • Ultrasonic/sonic devices that emit distress or predator calls

     

  • Reflective surfaces or laser systems that disturb bird behaviour

     

 

Pigeons problem solution

Pigeons are among the most persistent nuisance birds in urban and industrial environments. Droppings, nesting materials and blocked drains create hazards. Effective solutions target access points, nesting zones and deterrence. 

Problem areas to address:

  • Roof overhangs, fans and ducts

     

  • Loading bays, open structures

     

  • Ledges and window sills

     

 

What Are Bird Control Systems and How Do They Work?

Bird control systems combine exclusion (netting, spikes, wires) and deterrence (sound, vibrations, lasers) to create an environment where birds find it difficult or undesirable to roost or nest. These systems reduce damage, maintain hygiene and protect assets. 

 

Types of Bird Control Systems for Buildings and Industrial Sites

  • Netting/exclusion mesh: Physical barrier preventing access to voids or structures.

     

  • Spike/wire systems: Unstable surfaces to deter landing.

     

  • Acoustic/ultrasonic deterrents: Devices that emit bird-disturbing signals.

     

  • Visual deterrents & lasers: Disturbance of bird behaviour via light patterns or predator simulation.

     

 

Installation and Maintenance Guidelines for Bird Control Systems

Installation steps:

  1. Site survey to identify bird paths, roosting/nesting zones

     

  2. Select system type based on structure, bird species, exposure

     

  3. Install by certified technicians ensuring durability and effectiveness

     

  4. Commissioning and performance check

     

Maintenance tips:

  • Monthly visual checks for damage, sagging nets, loose hardware

     

  • Clean droppings and nests regularly to maintain effectiveness

     

  • Replace worn components or update systems every few years

     

 

Applications of Bird Control Systems in Construction and Urban Areas

Bird control is essential not just for industrial sites but also for construction zones and urban installations:

  • Façade & roof of high-rise buildings

     

  • Open parking structures, bus terminals

     

  • Construction scaffolding, cranes and temporary structures
    These systems help maintain hygiene, safety and aesthetics in urban environments.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers about bird control systems.

What are bird control systems and how do they work?

Bird control systems combine exclusion and deterrence methods (netting, spikes, sound, light) to prevent roosting and nesting, protecting structures and hygiene.
Common systems include netting/exclusion mesh, spikes or wire strips, acoustic deterrents and visual/laser deterrents—each suited to specific structures and species.
Installation requires a survey, proper selection of system type, certified installation and performance check. Maintenance involves monthly inspections, cleaning of droppings/nests and component replacement as needed.
They are used on façades, roofs, parking structures, scaffolding, crane booms, and any exposed urban structure where birds may roost or nest.

Because TSS offers region-specific systems designed for local climates, with installation, maintenance and support services tailored to Middle East building and industrial environments.
