Birds, although pretty to look at, can be quite a handful when they invade your property. It is especially problematic in marine settings where perching and roosting options are quite limited making anything in site, including your marine vessel, quite attractive.

The presence of large numbers of birds (although annoying) is not really the major issue when you have a bird infestation. It is the damage they cause when they invade your vessel that proves costly. Some of the problems birds can cause include:

Damaging your boat’s paint job. Because of the acidic nature of bird poop (about 3 – 4.5 on the pH scale), it causes serious damage to your boat’s paint job. The acidic matter will eat into the paint’s protective coating and if left to sit for longer will corrode the boat itself. Aesthetic deterioration. Whether at docks, marinas or on your boat, bird droppings will destroy the aesthetic appeal and require expensive maintenance to get rid of the mess. Slip and fall accidents. Mixed with water, bird droppings can be extremely dangerous as they can cause slip and fall accidents that could result in serious injury or litigation if the accident happens on commercial vessel Diseases. Birds are known to carry over 60 transmissible diseases and other dangerous parasites that can be harmful to humans.

With all the problems birds could cause, it becomes necessary to ensure that these potentially harmful creatures stay away. With Pestrol’s marine bird control solution you can rest assured that no pest bird will invade your aquatic space.

The Pestrol Solar Yard Repeller

With this device, your bird problem will be a thing of the past. The repeller uses a combination of three technologies to make sure that birds steer clear of your vessell regardless of the time of day. The technologies employed are ultrasonic emissions – this is sound that is inaudible to humans but very annoying to birds, audible sound which mimics the sounds made by predatory birds and a powerful strobe light.

How it works

This device is fitted with a motion sensor which ensures that the device remains inactive when there are no avian intruders around. When a bird comes within range of the device (up to a distance of 18 metres), the device kicks into action and scares it away. Depending on the settings you choose, the device can either use sonic sound or ultrasonic sound, both can be combined with the strobe light.

In addition to the fitted solar panel, this repeller also uses 4 x AA rechargeable batteries (included with the package) to store power for when sunlight intensity is not enough to power the device. This combined with its weatherproof construction makes it ideal for maritime use.
