There may be unwanted guests like birds that will come and litter all over your balcony and even spoil the furniture. Such birds are the ones that you are supposed to get rid of so that you can continue to enjoy your afternoons and evenings peacefully.
Having said that, there are very many ways in which you can get rid of birds that come to your balcony. One of them is the use of ultrasonic bird repellers, there is also the use of bird spikes and using natural means which I will discuss in my later posts.
The most common methods that are used by many people are bird repellers and these come in various makes. I have talked about these severally in my reviews of various kinds of bird repellers, especially the ones that are manufactured by Bird-X.
So please feel free to browse through my previous reviews on these gadgets. Bird spikes just as the name suggests are spikes that are used to get rid of birds.
You just have to place these on the balcony where you don’t want birds to come and they will not be able to perch there because the spikes will pierce them. This is one of the best ways to get rid of the birds on your balcony because this is just a set-and-forget method.
You don’t have to do anything else like incurring the cost of electricity used to run the other gadgets. Having said that, there are many ways that you can use to get rid of the birds on the balcony, and here are some of the devices that you can use.
i) Buy the bird repellent spray at home depot
There are very many different types of unwanted bird control products in the market and this is one of them.
The bird repellent spray or gel is used to keep unwanted birds like pigeons away from places that we don’t want them to be.
Some birds have a very bad habit of perching and then defecating at different places in our homes making it untidy and having to waste a lot of time cleaning. The bird-repellent gel comes as a sticky paste sort of glue that can be applied to surfaces where these birds land.
The gel is transparent which means that the birds will not easily notice that it has been applied to the surface and land there.
Other features
It is sticky in nature and when they land on the surface where it has been applied then it makes their movement very difficult and they will want to find a different surface that is more comfortable to them.
They cannot stand the sticky nature of this gel and therefore will move away. it also comes in a 10oz tube which is able to cover an area of around 10 square feet so if you happen to have a larger surface than this then you just get more.
It is also one of the most humane forms of pest control since it does not harm the birds in any way. The spray is also not harmful to normal people but one precautionary measure that you might want to observe is not to apply a very thick layer.
Works for birds
A thick layer of this bird-repellent gel might make the birds get stuck for quite some time and this will frustrate them and may cause harm.
So if you have a problem with birds perching on surfaces like mailboxes, chimneys, patios, and windows in your home this product will work very well to get rid of them. One is enough and can last for a very long if it is used properly.
There is no need to use other bird control products in conjunction with this one since it is enough by itself.
Another thing is that it is applied using a standard caulking gun which can also be bought in the stores where this product is found and for only $8 you will buy one also at home depot it is delivered to you wherever you are.
You can purchase it at home depot at a very reasonable price.
- ii) Bird-X Irri-Tape Bird Repelent Ribbon
Dalen HST Holographic Bird Scarer Tape
Both these devices do not cost much at all each of them goes for close to $7 and purchasing them all together as the package will ensure that you scare away all the flying creatures in your yard.
This ultrasonic bird control device also works very quietly and does not make a lot of noise.
These noises are only heard by the pests themselves.
It is also a very humane way of getting rid of them and is recommended once you start to see their droppings all over.
Instead of incurring cleaning costs over and over again you can just make this one-time purchase and make your balcony, yard, and windows clean.
